User Groups

Overview

Groups associate views with specific users or community strings and determine the access that the users or community strings have to the views. Access to a view can be read, write, or notify. Users and community strings are able to view, modify, and receive traps only from the object identifiers (OIDs) that are included in the views associated with their group.

Group information is stored in the User-Based Security Model (USM) MIB. Only users that have administrator access to the switch can use CLI commands to modify this MIB. Users that have administrator access can, however, give specific user groups read-write access to the MIB. Users or community strings assigned to those groups can then use SNMP to view or modify the MIB.
