NMIS9 Group Provisioning
Related Pages
Groups are a central concept to NMIS
Every node is required to be assigned to a group
User authorisation to view a node is based on groups
Metrics are calculated per group
Nodes may be viewed or listed per group
Nodes may be exported per group
Nodes may be deleted per group
Group membership is assigned at node creation time.
Notice the group section is comprised of two different input fields. The first one is a drop box containing all the currently configured groups. If the Node's group is not in this drop down box, we can enter a new group value in the text box below it.
If it's desirable to not display a certain group to any user of the GUI we may invoke the 'Hide Groups' feature. This is available from the NMIS9 top menu bar by selecting System->System Configuration->Hide Groups.
Note: You can select group visibility on a per user basis using the Users table's group field (Users.nmis file) as in previous versions.
The member nodes of a hidden group will still be collected on, but they will not be visible via the GUI to any user.
