Note to CC-SG Users
If you are using the Dominion KX in a CommandCenter Secure Gateway
configuration, this section of the user guide does not apply to you. When
the device is controlled by CommandCenter Secure Gateway, CC-SG
determines the allowed users and groups. See the CommandCenter
Secure Gateway User Guide, Administrator Guide, or Deployment
Guide on the Raritan website (www.raritan.com
http://www.raritan.com).
Relationship between Users and Group Entries
You may want to organize users in your device into groups. Assigning
users to groups saves time by allowing you to manage permissions for
all users in a group at once, instead of managing permissions on a user-
by-user basis.
User information helps in authenticating users accessing your KX unit.
Upon successful authentication, the device uses group information to
determine the user's permissions - which server ports are accessible,
whether rebooting the unit is allowed, and other features.
You may choose not to associate specific users with groups. In this case,
the KX unit classifies the user as Individual.
The user list on the left side of the page displays both User and Group
names created for the device. Users belonging to a Group are nested
under their group name.
Every Dominion KX unit has three default user groups that cannot be
deleted:
Group
name Description
ADMIN User group for original, factory-default
administrative user.
NONE Permissions defined for this group are employed for
a user when your Dominion KX is configured for
remote authentication via LDAP or RADIUS, and a
login attempt is successful but no user group is
returned by the remote authentication server.
