When device group access rights are enabled, WhatsUp Gold determines effective rights by first negotiating user rights, then group access rights. This means that, while device group access rights govern access to device groups, a user must first have user access rights to a device or group before group access rights are considered. If a user does not have the Manage Devices user access right, for example, then Device Write group access rights are not honored.
Tip: By disabling the Manage Groups and Manage Devices user access rights, you can prevent a user from modifying any groups or devices in WhatsUp Gold.
