Modifying group privileges

User management and access control > Managing user rights and usergroups > Modifying group privileges

Purpose:

To modify the privileges of an existing group, complete the following steps:

Steps:

Navigate to AAA > Access Control.
Find the group you want to modify and click . The list of available privileges is displayed.

Select the privileges (pages of the SPS interface) to which the group will have access and click Save.

Figure 72: AAA > Access Control > Edit — Modifying group privileges

Caution:

Assigning the Search privilege to a user on the AAA page automatically enables the Search in all connections privilege, and grants the user access to every audit trail, even if the user is not a member of the groups listed in the Access Control option of the particular connection policy.

Select the type of access (read or read & write) from the Type field.
Click .

The admin user is available by default and has all privileges. It is not possible to delete this user.
