Group Access and User rights for Find Device

Find Device adheres to the group access and user rights assigned to a WhatsUp Gold user account.

User Rights are configured from the Manage Users dialog (Configure > Manage Users). Group access rights are enabled from the Manage Users dialog, but must be specified from a group's properties. For more information, see Assigning group access rights.

A user account must have Group Read rights to at least one group to which a device belongs in order for it to appear in the results list. Additionally, a user account must have the following rights to perform Find Device's functions:

• An account must have Device Read to edit a device via Device Properties.
• An account must have both the Group Write and Manage Groups rights to remove a device from a group.
• An account must have both the Device Write and Manage Devices rights to remove a device from WhatsUp Gold.

  Note: When you attempt to remove a device from a group and it is the last copy of that device in WhatsUp Gold, if you have the appropriate rights, it is removed from WhatsUp Gold.
