User/Group Management

Silk Meter server offers  user and group management that can be used to apply policy grants.

The Policy Administrator allows you to add, rename, and remove users and groups from the management system.

Users and groups may also be assigned to each other.

This functionality is only available in administrator mode.

 

By default the Edit Users/Groups dialog opens with the user's point of view, displaying all users and the assigned groups of the first (selected) user.

These users and groups can be used in the Edit Grants dialog to apply policy grants.

 

Restrictions on user and group names

All characters are allowed, except those characters that Microsoft does not allow for user/group creation, those characters that Silk Meter uses for tokens, and those characters that have other significance in policy files.

The following characters are not allowed: / [ ] : | < > + = ; , ? * { } ( ) # & €

Note: The backslash character '\' is explicitly allowed to support grants for Silk Central's <client name>\<user name> login notation.
