Centralizing Authorization by Grouping Users


You can segregate user groups according to their different job responsibilities within your organization and and grant users the kind of access that is just enough for them to perform their jobs.


We recommend creating a user group for each identified user role to control access collectively instead of authorizing users individually.


The following lists the typical roles in EnOS and the corresponding recommended services to grant access to.
