Manage User Groups

Create a user group to specify available device functions and workflows for multiple local users at one time. You do not need to apply the settings to those users individually. Externally identified users cannot be part of a user group.

There are two types of groups as follows:

• Local Group: This includes the local group that is available by default and the groups that are locally created.
• External Group: This includes the groups that are imported together with the external user information.

These user groups are limited to the SLNX Management Console only and cannot be created on an external authentication server.
