Client Groups are a means to restrict access to Cumulus to certain applications (e.g. Cumulus Client, Web Client, etc) or versions of applications.
For each defined Client Group an entry Open Catalog with is added to the available Catalog Permissions of a user or role.
Additionally, you may Force Read Only Catalog Access for any defined client group. If the user opens a catalog with a Cumulus product that is contained in such a client group, only read access is possible, regardless of any other permissions set for the user.
To work with Client Groups:
1. In the left panel of the Server Console window, click on the entry User Manager.
2. Select Actions > Edit Client Groups.
The Edit Client Groups window is opened. It lists the existing Client Groups.
Use the appropriate buttons for creating, duplicating, editing, renaming or deleting a Client Group. A Client Group is defined by its name and the application products that are assigned to it.
Click the Add button in the Products window to add a product.
A list offers a range of Cumulus products that can be included. The list will also offer other products if they are registered and activated with the Cumulus Server.
NOTE: Updating! Remember to update the products assigned to Client Groups as well.
