About Galaxy security groups

Every object in a Galaxy belongs to only one security group. You create a security group to contain a set of objects in the Galaxy whose attributes and alarms can be managed by users.

By default, all currently used objects are assigned to the Default security group. A user who is a member of the Default security role are granted all Operational permissions.

A user who is a member of a role assigned to the Default security role has permission to:

• Acknowledge alarms

• Change attribute values with “configure” security mode

• Change attribute values with “operate” security mode, including “secured write” and “verified write”

• Change attribute values with “tune” security mode

• Verify writes to Attributes with “verified write” security mode
