User Group

Groups enable easy organization and management of individual users of the NetStorm.

A Group, in essence, is a self-contained entity that can perform all of its work without affecting the work of another User Group. Each group has a Group Admin, responsible for creating and managing individual users within the group. The Group Admin can perform the same work as any regular user with an additional ability to manage users within its group as well.

This chapter describes the following tasks:

  • Creating a user group
  • Deleting a user group
