System Administration—User Groups

To open system administration, select Setup | System Administration from main menu. Click on the tabs to change the different settings.

You can  define the following aspects of your PRTG system setup:

• System Administration—System & Website
• System Administration—Notification Delivery
• System Administration—Probes
• System Administration—Cluster
• System Administration—User Accounts
• System Administration—User Groups
   

PRTG administrator users can change existing user groups or add new ones, and define the users that are member of a certain group.

All the security settings as well as further rights management are conducted via the user groups. This means that group membership controls what a user may do and which objects he/she sees when logged in. The actual rights for each object can be defined in an object's settings. There, you can define different rights for each user group.

• To change a user group's settings, select it from the list by clicking on the group name.
• To add a new user group, click on the Add User Group button. The options are the same as for existing users (with slight differences).

Note: This documentation refers to the PRTG System Administrator user using the Ajax interface on a master node. For other users, interfaces, or nodes, not all of the options might be available as described. When using a cluster installation, failover nodes are read-only by default.
