Managing Users and Groups

This chapter describes how to manage users, groups, and host access on the Cisco Mobility Services Engine.

Prerequisites

Full access is required for Cisco Prime Infrastructure to access mobility services engines.

Guidelines and Limitations

Group permissions override individual user permissions. For example, if you give a user full access and add that user to a group with read only access, that user is unable to configure mobility services engine settings.

Managing User Groups

This section describes how to add, delete, and edit user groups.

User groups allow you to assign different access privileges to users.

Adding User Groups

To add a user group to a mobility services engine, follow these steps:


Note

The Services > Mobility Services Engine page is available only in root virtual domain.

    Step 1   Choose Services > Mobility Services.
    Step 2   Click the name of the MSE to which you want to add a user group.
    Step 3   Choose System > Accounts > Groups.
    Step 4   From the Select a command drop-down list, choose Add Group. Click Go.
    Step 5   Enter the name of the group in the Group Name text box.
    Step 6   Choose a permission level (read, write, or full) from the Permission drop-down list.
    Note   

    Full access is required for the Prime Infrastructure to access MSEs.

    Step 7   Click Save.

    Deleting User Groups

    To delete user groups from a mobility services engine, follow these steps:

      Step 1   Choose Services > Mobility Services.
      Step 2   Click the name of the mobility services engine from which you want to delete a user group.
      Step 3   Choose System > Accounts > Groups.
      Step 4   Select the check boxes of the groups that you want to delete.
