of the group limits the scope of the MIB tree to which the group has read,

- View—Select a previously-defined view for Read, Write and Notify.
- Read—Management access is read-only for the selected view.
Otherwise, a user or a community associated with this group is able to
read all MIBs except those that control SNMP itself.
- Write—Management access is write for the selected view. Otherwise, a
user or a community associated with this group is able to write all MIBs
except those that control SNMP itself.
- Notify—Limits the available content of the traps to those included in the
selected view. Otherwise, there is no restriction on the contents of the
traps. This can only be selected for SNMPv3.
Click Apply. The SNMP group is saved to the Running Configuration file.
An SNMP user is defined by the login credentials (username, passwords, and
authentication method) and by the context and scope in which it operates by
association with a group and an Engine ID.
The configured user have the attributes of its group, having the access privileges
configured within the associated view.
Groups enable network managers to assign access rights to a group of users
instead of to a single user.
A user can only belong to a single group.
To create an SNMPv3 user, the following must first exist:
• An engine ID must first be configured on the device. This is done in the
Engine ID page.
• An SNMPv3 group must be available. An SNMPv3 group is defined in the
Groups page.
