Permissions Exercise

In this example, you give the user Jane Doe exclusive rights to add and edit servers by giving those permissions to a new Access Group and assigning her to that group.

  1. Login as root.

  2. Make a new Access Group called Server Admin.

  3. Add Jane Doe to the new Access Group.

  4. Go to Administration > Permissions.

  5. Scroll to and click the Add New Servers permission.

  6. In the Details tab, use the Add and Remove buttons to make Server Admin the only Access Group that has this permission.

  7. Click Update. Now only Jane Doe has permission to add servers to the system.

Note: The root user always has all permissions. You cannot remove any access privileges from the root user.

Notice that only Jane can add a server. However, she does not have the ability to enter the server's login information. This can be done by adding the Server Admin group to the Edit Server Authentication permission.
