Storix Software SBAdmin User Guide - Manual (Page 28)

5. Groups
To configure Groups you must be logged into SBAdmin as a User with “System Admin” privilege.
When SBAdmin was first installed the group “main” was created. The “main” group will function as the default
group and no further group configuration is required. You may choose to configure groups to assist with the
organization or security of your backup environment.
Groups are used to allow a single Administrator to organize and manage Clients and Servers ; and may be
configured to allow or restrict certain User access. Groups are also necessary when configuring servers that will
share or limit client access based on group ID. For examples, see the Using Groups section of this guide.
Adding a Group

From this screen, simply type the name of the group to add in the Group name: entry field and optionally a
Description of the group. The Group ID field will be automatically populated with a unique value to be

changing a group . Select any users
who should have access to this group from the Users who can access this group box. Then press the Save
