Assign a User Home Host Group

When you assign a user to a host group, the user can only gain visibility to those hosts at their assigned level and below. This assigned level is called a home host group. The user will not see any host groups above their defined home group.

To assign a user to a host group

  1. Choose Admin > Users > Users and Privileges. The window displays all Portal users.
  2. Select the user name to which you want to assign a host group, and click Edit. The window displays the user's profile.
  3. From the Home Host group list, select the host group to which you want the user to belong and click OK.
