To view the members of any group, select the group in the ‘Group Summary’ list and
click the ‘Members…’ button. This brings up the ‘Group Members’ window containing a
list of the members of the group.
To add one more members to this group, click the ‘Add…’ button. In the ‘Add Group
Members’ dialogue box, enter the user names of the users you would like add to this
group, separating them with a comma. You can only add existing users to a group
using this method (see section 6.1.2.1 below for details on how to create users).
When you are done providing the user names, click the ‘Add Users’ button to add the
users to the selected group. Click Close to dismiss the ‘Add Group Members’ dialogue
box.
To remove one or more members from a group, select the members(s) in the ‘Group
Members’ list and click the ‘Remove’ button. Confirm the action by clicking Okay.
Note:
• A user must belong to at least one group for the user to be able to exercise any
set of individual permissions that he/she may have. If you remove a user from
all his/her groups, the user will still be able to log in to the Web Console but will
not be able to do anything, even if the user has individual permissions.
•
If you delete a group, all the users who belonged to the group will still exist and
be able to log in to the Web Console. However, the same conditions described
above will still apply to them.
•
You cannot delete the built-in ‘ADMINISTRATORS’ group or edit its properties.

6.1.2.1 Creating Users
To create a new user, click ‘Create User’ in the ‘Users’ menu of the ‘User and Group’
management tool.
In the ‘Create User’ dialogue box, enter a unique user name for the new user. Provide
the user’s full name. Enter a password and confirm it (users can change their
passwords if they have the ‘Change own password’ permission). Select a group to add
the user to from the ‘Select Group(s)’ list. You can add the user to more than one
group, if you wish. Click Save to create the user. You may create additional users. Click
Close when you are done.
The user(s) you just created will inherit the permissions of all the groups they belong
to. To assign additional permissions for the newly created user(s), click ‘Users’ in the
‘View’ menu of the ‘User and Group’ management tool. This displays a list of the
currently available users in the ‘Users’ window.
In the ‘Users’ list, click the name of the user whose permissions you want to set or
modify. This brings up the ‘User Properties’ window showing the properties of the user
including his/her permissions.
In the permissions list, select the additional permissions you would like to assign to
this user (see section 6.2 below to learn more about permissions). Notice that the
permissions inherited from the group(s) to which the user belongs are greyed-out and
cannot be changed or revoked for this user (except at the group level). The user’s
individual permissions (if any) are not, allowing you to revoke them. To save the
changes, click ‘Save Changes’ when you are done. Click Close to dismiss the ‘User
Properties’ window.
To edit the properties (user name, full name, password and group(s)) of any user,
select the name of the user in the ‘Users’ list and click Edit. When you finish editing the
