User Group Management
This chapter provides information about setting up and managing user groups in
Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server to control authorization. Cisco Secure
ACS enables you to group network users for more efficient administration. Each
user can belong to only one group in Cisco Secure ACS. You can establish up to
500 groups to effect different levels of authorization.
Cisco Secure ACS also supports external database group mapping; that is, if your
external user database distinguishes user groups, these groups can be mapped into
Cisco Secure ACS. And if the external database does not support groups, you can
map all users from that database to a Cisco Secure ACS user group. For
information about external database mapping, see
Chapter 16, “User Group
Mapping and Specification” .
Before you configure Group Setup, you should understand how this section
functions. Cisco Secure ACS dynamically builds the Group Setup section
interface depending on the configuration of your network devices and the security
protocols being used. That is, what you see under Group Setup is affected by
settings in the Network Configuration and Interface Configuration sections.
