86Managing Users and Groups

Changing a Users Group Assignment

Only users who are members of the admin group can remove other users from a group. All users can add an existing user to a group, but only to a group in which the "granting" user is already a member. The admin user, who by default is a member of all four groups (admin, oper, tunnelguard and certadmin) can therefore add users to any of these groups.

Step Action

1Log in to the NVG cluster.

In this example the cert_admin user, who is a member of the certadmin group, will add the admin user to the certadmin group. The example assumes that the admin user previously removed himself or herself from the certadmin group, to fully separate the Administrator user role from the Certificate Administrator user role.

login: cert_admin

Password: ( cert_admin user password)
