Creating groups

Creating groups
As discussed in Chapter 1, there are two types of admin groups in SafeWord,
global and nonglobal. Global groups contain data that any administrator, no
matter what level they have been designated, can access. This means system
level administrators, local administrators, and helpdesk staff can all view data
contained in these groups. Non-global groups contain data whose access is
restricted to system and lower-level administrators with specific management
duties for the particular groups. When you create a new group, you specify
whether or not it will be global.
Important: Users cannot be placed into global groups, thus preventing local
administrators and helpdesk staff from having unintended access to data they do
not have permission to access.
To create a new admin group or subgroup, do the following:
1
In the SafeWord 2008 Management Console, highlight the Admin Group
under which you want the new group or subgroup to appear (USERS, for
example).
If the group is to be a top-level group, select the top-most group folder (for
instance, Admin Groups).
Subgroups are groups nested beneath admin-level groups (which become
the Parent group to that subgroup). Administrators who manage a group
also manage the subgroups inside their group.
2
Select
Insert > Admin Group
.
3
Enter a name in the
Admin Group
field.
4
(Optional) Select the
Globally Visible
check box if this is a group that will
not contain users. This allows other administrative-level users access to
this group’s contents.
5
Click
OK
to create the group.
