# User Group Management
|
|
|
|
Cacti supports User Groups for shared permissions. On the development branch,
|
|
[Login Providers](Login-Providers.md) can also assign membership at login when
|
|
automatic assignment rules are configured.
|
|
User Groups closely mimic the normal user. You see things like **Graph**
|
|
permissions, Roles and Realms, Default pages, and settings, it's all there.
|
|
|
|
The way that a Cacti User Group works is that it's combined with the Users
|
|
permission, and then the resulting permission is the most permissive.
|
|
So, if a User does not have a permission, but the User Group that they
|
|
belong to does, the user then gains the permission.
|
|
|
|
There are other types of settings that the User Group can own the
|
|
permission as well. There are only a few of these permissions however.
|
|
|
|
In the next series of images, we will walk through the User Group interface.
|
|
In this first images, we can see the main User Group interface.
|
|
From here, you can see all of the Groups defined on the system and
|
|
the number of Users in the Group, if the User Group is enabled or
|
|
disabled. Lastly, in the Action drop-down, you can see the actions
|
|
that you can take with a User Group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this next image, you can see the User Group Edit page. The
|
|
Edit page has multiple Sub-tabs. They include:
|
|
|
|
- **General** - General settings about the User Group
|
|
- **Members** - A list of User Group members
|
|
- **Permissions** - Roles and Realms that provide group member access to Cacti
|
|
components
|
|
- **Graph Perms** - Effective Graph Permissions, rolling up Device and Template
|
|
permissions
|
|
- **Device Perms** - User Group Device Permissions
|
|
- **Template Perms** - Graph Template Permissions
|
|
- **Tree Perms** - Tree Permissions
|
|
- **User Settings** - Settings for the User of the Group if they can not manage
|
|
settings on their own
|
|
|
|
The first form elements are pretty self explanatory. The Tree,
|
|
Graph List, and Preview rights speak to Cacti three Graph Viewing modes
|
|
which are explained in the Viewing Graphs section of the Document.
|
|
|
|
Lastly Login options, are how the user should be re-directed after logging.
|
|
This is again, pretty self explanatory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next image shows the Member list. This one is pretty self explanatory.
|
|
You can see all the users defined on the system and whether or not they
|
|
below to the User Group, and the ability to add or remove them enmass.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next image shows Cacti's Roles and Realms within those Roles. Cacti
|
|
organizes it's Authorization Realms into Pre-defined Roles. Plugin
|
|
Developers can create their own Roles as well. So, when you Extend
|
|
Cacti using Plugins, you may find additional Roles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this last image on the page, you can see every **Graph** in the Cacti
|
|
system and whether or not the User Group has permission to view it. This
|
|
permission can granted by giving the Group permission to a **Device**
|
|
or the **Graph Template** in the **Permissive** permission mode,
|
|
or in the **Restrictive** permission mode, they have to have both **Device**
|
|
and **Graph Template** permissions to gain access to the **Graph**. Finally,
|
|
the Cacti Administrator can grant access to **Graphs** one at a time if they
|
|
choose.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can find the **Permission** and **Restrictive** permission setting on Cactis
|
|
configuration page at `Console > Configuration > Settings > General`. We have
|
|
not covered the **Device**, **Template**, **Tree** or **Settings** sub-tabs
|
|
here. If you would like more information on them, see the User documentation.
