Summary
Users are the people with NetDB accounts. Users must have
a valid SUNet ID to access NetDB. The User record determines a User's
access privileges through Groups and record access.
-
Associated Fields:
-
Name- A User's account
name must be User's principal kerberos SUNet ID. In other words, if
Leland Stanford's primary account name is "leland" but he also has
"leland.stanford" and "stanford" as SUNet IDs, NetDB requires "leland".
Active? - "Yes" means account
is active. "No" means account is inactive.
Default Domain - This
is the implied Domain if the User does not specify a Domain when creating
a Node. For example, if the User's default Domain is "stanford.edu"
and the User creates Node "MyNode", the fully qualified name for the
Node is "MyNode.stanford.edu". The User must be in the same Group
as the default Domain.
Default Address Space - When
creating a Node, NetDB will automatically assign the next available
address in the User's default address space. The User must be in the
same Group as the default address space.
LNA Department - List
of departments where the User is the LNA.
Other Departments - List
of departments that the User is affiliated with but not the LNA of.
For example, a User in CRC may be the LNA for Office of General Counsel
because of a contract agreement but the User's actual department may
be CRC.
Default Group - Records
that the User creates will automatically be placed in the default
Group. This is a mandatory field unless the account is inactive.
Member Groups - List
of all Groups that the User is a member of. To delete the Group that
is also the User's default Group, you must first change the default
Group to another Group. A User can only modify/delete records in his
member Groups. A User can only add Nodes to Domains and address spaces
that are in his member Groups.
All Groups - Checking this
box means the User has access to all Groups. This is a common setting
for ITSS staff who support folks in many departments.
Record Access - To modify,
create or delete a record , Users must have both Group and record
rights. There are 6 record types: Group, Domain, User, Admin Team,
Network and Node. Below is a list of who typically needs record access:
