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 that 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:
