WebConsole - Security Options

NI Series WebConsole & Programming Guide
Any properties possessed by groups (ex: access rights, update rights, directory associations, etc.) are
inherited by users assigned to that particular group.
Unchecking a security option (which is available within the associated group) does not remove that right
from the user. The only way to remove a group’s available security right from a target user is either to not
associate a group to a user or to alter the security rights of the group being associated.
Deleting a Group
1. Select the Group Level tab (in the Security section) to open the Group Security Details page.
2. Press the Delete button to remove the selected group and refresh the page. The system will prompt
you to verify this action - click OK to proceed.
If you are not logged into the Master, you receive a reminder message: "You must login before
Security Settings can be changed". In this case, log into the Master and repeat the previous
steps.
If the group is associated with several users, you might get an error while trying to delete the
group. If this happens, change the group association of those specific users utilizing the old
group and either give them a new group or assign them (none) as a group. When you return to
delete the desired group, you receive a message saying "Group deleted successfully".
3. Click the Accept button to save your changes to the Master.
