Configuring User Groups

You configure user groups at the users group levels.

To add a new user group, use the following command:

Admin@nodename# create users group <parameter>

You can specify the following parameters:

Parameter

Description

name

The user group name.

description

The user group description.

transient

Values:

  • on: the group is for guest users

  • off: the group is not for guest users.

users

Add users to the group.

ldap-users

Add LDAP users. When adding LDAP users, specify an LDAP connector (ldap-users connector <ldap-server-name> users + [ <domain\user1> <domain\user2> ... ]).

To edit information about a user group, use the following command (the parameters available to update are the same as those for creating a group):

Admin@nodename# set users group <group-name> <parameter>

To display group settings, use the following command:

Admin@nodename# show users group <group-name>

Example commands to create and edit a user group:

Admin@nodename# create users group name "Test user group" ldap-users connector "LDAP connector" users [ testd.local\user1 ] Admin@nodename# show users group "Test user group" name : Test user group is-ldap : off is-transient : off users : user1 user1 (testd.local\user1) Admin@nodename# set users group "Test user group" users [ user2 ] Admin@nodename# show users group "Test user group" name : Test user group is-ldap : off is-transient : off users : user2; user1 user1 (testd.local\user1)

To delete a user group or individual users from it, use the following commands:

Admin@nodename# delete users group <group-name>

To delete local users, use the following command:

Admin@nodename# delete users group <group-name> users [ <user1> <user2> ... ]

To delete LDAP users, use the following command:

Admin@nodename# delete users group <group-name> ldap-users connector <ldap-server-name> users [ <domain\user1> <domain\user2> ... ]

Example of removing an LDAP user from a group:

Admin@nodename# delete users group "Test user group" ldap-users connector "LDAP connector" users [ testd.local\user1 ]
