Creating SNMP groups

SNMPv3 provides for a way to control which events authorized and authenticated users can see and perform by
associating each user with a group. A group is a label for a logical entity (combination of attributes). A group is
operational only when it is associated with an SNMP user or an SNMP community. A group also has an attribute that tells
if members should have read, write, and/or notify privileges for the view.
From the web UI, groups are configured using the SNMP Groups dialog, shown below.
