Chapter 13 Managing Privileged Users And Groups - Netscape MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 6.0 Installation And Setup Manual

Managing Privileged Users and
Privileged users are users who are designated to perform privileged operations on
Netscape Certificate Management System (CMS); these operations are privileged
because no one else can perform them. You assign privileged-user status to a user by
storing the user's login information in the internal database of Certificate
Management System, associating the user's login information with a personal
certificate (if the user is an agent or a trusted manager), and granting access
permissions to various CMS resources by adding the user to appropriate groups.
This chapter describes the types of privileged users you need to set up for a CMS
instance, what each user does, how Certificate Management System identifies these
users, and how you create and manage these users. The chapter also describes
what a group is and discusses the groups that Certificate Management System
provides by default.
The chapter has the following sections:
• Privileged-User Types and Responsibilities (page 372)
• Groups and Their Privileges (page 384)
• Setting Up Privileged Users (page 388)
