SonicOS 7 Device Settings

User Groups

The Multiple Administrators Support feature supports two new default user groups:

  • SonicWall Administrators: Members of this group have full administrator access to edit the configuration.
  • SonicWall Read-Only Admins: Members of this group have read-only access to view the full management interface, but they cannot edit the configuration and they cannot switch to full configuration mode.

It is not recommended to include users in more than one of these user groups. If you do so, however, the following behavior applies:

If members of this user group Are
SonicWall Administrators Also included in the Limited Administrators or SonicWall Read-Only Admins user groups, the members have full administrator rights.
Limited Administrators Included in the SonicWall Read-Only Admins user group, the members have limited administrator rights.
Read-Only Admins Later included in another administrative group, If this read-only admin group is used with other administrative groups option in the SonicWall Read-Only Admins group configuration determines whether the members are still restricted to read-only access or have the full administration capabilities set by their other group.
