12: User Authentication
SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 282
Groups
The SLC 8000 advanced console manager has 3 pre-defined groups: Administrators, Power
Users, and Default Users. Custom groups can also be created; each custom group is a set of user
attributes and permissions. Local Users and Remote Users defined on the SLC unit can be
assigned to one of the pre-defined groups or a custom group. When a user authenticates, if they
belong to custom group, they will be granted the custom group attributes and permissions, rather
than their individual attributes and permissions. The SLC 8000 advanced console manager
supports querying a LDAP server for groups that a LDAP user is a member of; if any of the LDAP
group names match a (Custom Group Name), the LDAP user will be granted the rights of the
custom group.
A custom group cannot be given the name of one of the pre-defined groups: "Admin", "Power" or
"Default" (or any version of these names where the case of the letters is different) since these
names are used for the SLC pre-defined groups. Any LDAP group that matches one of these pre-
defined group names will be ignored and not used to assign rights to a user.
To configure Groups in the SLC unit:
1. From the main menu, select User Authentication - Groups. The following page displays.
Note: If the fields in the lower part of the page have been populated by viewing another
group, the fields can be cleared by selecting the Reset Group button.
