Chapter 5: User Management
User Group List
User groups are used with local and remote authentication (via RADIUS
or LDAP/LDAPS). It is a good idea to define user groups before creating
individual users since, when you add a user, you must assign that user
to an existing user group.
The User Group List page displays a list of all user groups, which can be
sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking on the Group Name
column heading. From the User Group List page, you can also add,
modify, or delete user groups.
To list the user groups:

Choose User Management > User Group List. The User Group List
page opens.
Relationship Between Users and Groups
Users belong to a group and groups have privileges. Organizing the
various users of your LX into groups saves time by allowing you to
manage permissions for all users in a group at once, instead of
managing permissions on a user-by-user basis.
You may also choose not to associate specific users with groups. In this
case, you can classify the user as “Individual.”
Upon successful authentication, the device uses group information to
determine the user's permissions, such as which server ports are
accessible, whether rebooting the device is allowed, and other features.
Adding a New User Group
To add a new user group:
1. Select User Management > Add New User Group or click Add on the
User Group List page.
