Using usergroups

How you should name usergroups depends on the way you manage your One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) users.

• Local users: If you use only local users, create or modify usergroups on the Users & Access Control > Local User Groups page, assign or modify privileges on the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page, and add users to the groups on the Users & Access Control > Local Users or the Users & Access Control > Local User Groups page.

• LDAP users and LDAP groups: If you manage your users from LDAP, and also have LDAP groups that match the way you want to group your SPS users, create or modify your usergroups on the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page and ensure that the name of your LDAP group and the SPS usergroup is the same. For example, to make members of the admins LDAP group be able to use SPS, create a usergroup called admins on the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page and edit the privileges of the group as needed.

• RADIUS users and local groups: This is the case when you manage users from RADIUS, but you cannot or do not want to create groups in LDAP. Create your local groups on the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page, and add your RADIUS users to these groups on the Users & Access Control > Local User Groups page.
