Managing Groups - Avocent CCM Installer/User Manual

18 CCM Installer/User Guide
Each port may belong to up to 8 groups. Multiple ports may belong to the same port group. Up to 8
port groups may then be specified in a user account.
Up to 8 port groups may be specified for a CCM850 appliance user, up to 16 port groups for a
CCM1650 appliance user and up to 48 port groups for a CCM485x appliance user.

Managing groups

The most convenient way to add, modify and delete groups is with the Group commands.
Alternatively, you may use the Group parameter in Port Add, Port Set, User Add and User Set
commands to add or change group membership; however, the Group commands provide an easier,
centralized method.
To specify the access control method:
Issue a Server Security command with the Access parameter.
SERVER SECURITY . . . ACCESS=BYPORT|BYGROUP
To add a group:
To add a group to one or more ports, issue a Group Add command with the Port parameter and a
comma-delimited list of port names/numbers.
GROUP <group> ADD PORT=<port>
To add a group to one or more users, issue a Group Add command with the User parameter and a
comma-delimited list of usernames.
GROUP <group> ADD USER=<user>
For more information, see Group Add command on page 63.
(Alternately, you may specify groups using the Group parameter in a Port Add, Port Set, User Add
or User Set command.)
To change a group's membership:
To change the membership of a group of ports, use the Group Set command with the Port
parameter and a comma-delimited list of port names/numbers to add, remove or replace.
GROUP <group> SET PORT=<port>
To change the membership of a group of users, use the Group Set command with the User
parameter and a comma-delimited list of usernames to add, remove or replace.
GROUP <group> SET USER=<user>
You may add, remove or replace membership with a Group Set command. For more information,
see Group Set command on page 64.
(Alternately, you may specify groups using the Group parameter in a Port Add, Port Set, User Add
or User Set command.)
To display group information:
To display one or more groups and their membership, issue a Show Group command
