Adding And Removing User Groups - Tripp Lite B092-016 Owner's Manual

Chapter 14: Command Line Configuration

14.1.3 Adding and removing User Groups

The Console Server is configured with a few default user groups (even though only two of these groups are visible in the
Management Console GUI). To find out how many groups are already present:
# config -g config.groups.total
Assume this value is six. Make sure to number any new groups you create from seven onwards.
To add a custom group to the configuration with Group name=Group7, Group description=MyGroup and Port access= 1,5
you'd issue the commands:
# config -s config.groups.group7.name=Group7
# config -s config.groups.group7.description=MyGroup
# config -s config.groups.total=7
# config -s config.groups.group7.port1=on
# config -s config.groups.group7.port5=on
Assume we have an RPC device connected to port 1 on the console manager, and the RPC is configured. To give this group
access to RPC outlet number 3 on the RPC device, run the two commands below:
# config -s config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.group1=Group7
# config -s config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.total=1 (total number of groups that have access to this outlet)
If more groups are given access to this power outlet, then increment the 'config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.groups.total'
element accordingly.
To give this group access to network host 5:
# config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.group1=Group7
# config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.total=1 (total number of groups having access to host)
To give another group called 'Group8' access to the same host:
# config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.group2=Group8
# config -s config.sdt.hosts.host5.groups.total=2 (total number of users having access to host)
To delete the group called Group7, use the following command:
# rmuser Group7
Attention: The rmuser script is a generic script to remove any config element from config.xml correctly. However, any
dependencies or references to this group will not be affected. Only the group details are deleted. The administrator is
responsible for going through config.xml and removing group dependencies and references manually, specifically if the group
had access to a host or RPC device.
The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:
# config -a
