Set User Privileges

Users need appropriate privileges to create and manage VPN Gateways. The VPN Gateway has a specific group privilege called Access and manage VPN Gateway. When you enable this privilege for a group, its members inherit it through group settings, allowing them to manage the VPN gateways.

Prerequisite: Make sure you have one or more Groups in the User Manager. To create one, see Create a group.

To set user privileges to manage VPN Gateways, follow these steps:

1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Management > Users & Groups.

2. Select the Groups tab in the User Manager window.

3. Select the appropriate group to assign relevant privileges.

4. In the Privileges tab, select Access and manage VPN Gateway.

Note: You can remove the privileges from the group by clearing Access and manage VPN Gateway.

Set User Privileges

Result: The privilege to manage VPN Gateways is granted to all the members in the selected group.

Revoke user privileges

You can revoke a user's Access and manage VPN Gateway privilege by removing the user from all the groups that have this privilege enabled.

Warning: You can revoke a user from this privilege by disabling Access and manage VPN Gateway for every group the user belongs to. In this case, all the members in the respective groups would also be revoked from this privilege.

To revoke this privilege from a contract administrator, disable the administrator option on the user account. On performing this action, the contract administrator gets the role of a contract user, and the privileges that were set up for the user before being an administrator will then be in effect.
