Configuring Access Rights for a Device Group

An important part of creating a device group is configuring the appropriate access rights for that group. Group access rights ensure that only those users with specific rights are allowed to view and modify a device group.

Assigning group access rights

From the web interface, select a device group and go to Properties for that group. There are several ways to do this:

Select a device group from the Devices tab in either Map View or Device View, and right-click. From the right-mouse menu, select Properties.
Select a device group from the Devices tab in either Map View or Device View. From the Devices Menu bar, go to Edit > Properties.

From the Group Properties dialog, you can add and edit the access rights for the selected group.

Important: You must enable group access rights for a user account before a user can add or edit access rights for a device group. To do this, the WhatsUp Gold Administrator will have to enable group access rights in the Manage Users dialog (Configure > Manage Users).
