Moving a User

When new users log in to SonicWALL GMS for the first time, they are considered guest users and have only limited access. One way to configure user privileges is to move the user to the appropriate group.

To change a SonicWALL GMS user’s group:

1	Have the user log in to GMS. The user is logged in as a guest user with limited privileges. An administrator can now upgrade the account to a separate user class.

2	Log in as the remote domain’s administrator.

3	Navigate to the Console tab.

4	Navigate to the Management > Users page.

You will see that there are currently four different categories of users: Administrators, End Users, Guest Users, and Operators. These categories can be further opened to list the users that comprise them.

 

5	Select the new user from the Guest Users list.

6	Right-click the new user’s name in the Guest Users list and select Move User from the pull down menu.

7	In the Move User dialog box, select the appropriate new level for the new user, and select Inherit permissions defined from the new user type permission.
