Create User Groups

Starting in software version 5.8.00, you can use the user group option to associate the users with Roles and Tags. A user group consists of a set of roles and set of tags associated with that group. When a user is created they can be associated with one or more user groups.

The following user groups are available by default in GigaVUE‑FM. You will not be able to edit or change these groups in the system.

By creating groups and associating to tags and roles, you can control the users of the following:

  • The category of resources which the user can access, such as the clusters, ports, maps and so on. This is defined using the Roles option. Refer to the Roles section for more details.
  • The physical and logical resources that the user can access, such as the ports in a cluster that belong to a specific department in a location. This is defined using the Tags option.

Refer to the following flow chart to see how access control operation occurs when the user accesses a resource:
