Understanding Access Control Groups

Five pre-built access control groups are available, but you can create and manage additional groups as required.

You may define the members of each access control group, as well as the directories to which each group has Read-Only or Read-Write access.

The pre-defined groups are defined as follows:

Group	Description
Administrators	Allows access to all directories and files. The default IP address is 127.0.0.1 (local host).
Sensors	Allows access to only those files used by Sensor to transmit data.
Users	Allows read-only access to the elements required for an Insight user to perform basic analysis tasks.
Power Users	Allows read-only access to the elements required for an Insight user to perform basic analysis tasks, plus read and write access to the Profiles folder for modifying profiles.
Cluster Servers	Allows access to Insight Servers that are designated as cluster servers.
Report Servers	Allows access to Report machines that connect to the Insight Server.

Members of an access control group are defined using their IP addresses or SSL certificate information.

If an SSL certificate is not available, an IP address may be used to define a group member. The typical installation of Insight includes an SSL certificate, while the use of certificates for Sensor(s) is optional. For Insight Server, Cluster Servers are defined using IP addresses instead of SSL certificates.

The following codes can be used to define group members:
