Managing Users and Groups

Changing a Users Group Assignment

Only users who are members of the

admin

group can remove other

users from a group. All users can add an existing user to a group, but
only to a group in which the "granting" user is already a member. The

admin

user, who by default is a member of all four groups (

admin

,

oper

,

tunnelguard

and

certadmin

) can therefore add users to any of these

groups.

Step

Action

1

Log in to the NVG cluster.

In this example the

cert_admin

user, who is a member of the

certadmin

group, will add the

admin

user to the

certadmin

group. The example assumes that the

admin

user previously

removed himself or herself from the

certadmin

group, to

fully separate the Administrator user role from the Certificate
Administrator user role.

login: cert_admin

Password:

user password)
