User Groups

The KX III stores an internal list of all user profiles and user groups to
determine access authorization and permissions. This information is
stored internally in an encrypted format.
All users must be authenticated to access KX III.
KX III can be configured to authenticate users locally and/or remotely
using LDAP/LDAPS or RADIUS. Remote user authentication is
processed before local authentication if remote authentication is enabled.
Every KX III is delivered with three default user groups. These groups
cannot be deleted:
User Description
Admin Users that are members of this group have full
administrative privileges. The original, factory-default
user is a member of this group and has the complete
set of system privileges. In addition, the Admin user
must be a member of the Admin group.
Unknown This is the default group for users who are
authenticated externally using LDAP/LDAPS or
RADIUS or who are unknown to the system. If the
external LDAP/LDAPS or RADIUS server does not
identify a valid user group, the Unknown group is
used. In addition, any newly created user is
automatically put in this group until assigned to
another group.
Individual An individual group is essentially a "group" of one.
Group That is, the specific user is in its own group, not
affiliated with other real groups. Individual groups can
be identified by the "@" in the Group Name. The
individual group allows a user account to have the
same rights as a group.
Up to 254 user groups can be created in the KX III. Up to 254 user
groups can be created in the KX III.
