User groups

Local users can be placed into user groups. User Group allows you to apply policies to many local users at once rather than one by one individually.

Creating user groups from GUI

Steps
  1. From the administration portal, go to Users > User Groups and click Create New.
  2. Type in a name for the group and click OK.

Creating user groups from CLI

To create a User group from CLI, please use CLI command

set group <group-name> <server-id> <policy-name>

(where server-id has to be “0” as for local user)

e.g.

> set group group_new 0 policy_new

> show group

Group Name : group_new

Server ID : 0

Policy : policy_new
