  1. Accessing ACL Group Management:

    • Log in to the system with administrative privileges.

  2. Understanding ACL Group Fields:

    • Name: The name of the ACL group, providing a descriptive identifier for organizational purposes.

    • Description: A brief explanation or summary of the purpose and scope of the ACL group.

    • Ranking: An optional parameter that determines the priority or precedence of the ACL group in relation to other groups.

    • Inactive: Indicates whether the ACL group is currently active or inactive.

  3. Searching and Filtering:

    • Utilize the search and filter options to quickly locate specific ACL groups based on their names, descriptions, or other attributes.

    • Narrow down the results by specifying criteria such as active/inactive status or ranking.

  4. Adding a New ACL Group:

    • Click on the "ADD" button to create a new ACL group.

    • Enter a unique name and a descriptive description for the new group.

    • Optionally, assign a ranking to prioritize the group among others, if necessary.

    • Ensure the group is set to active unless you intend to deactivate it.

  5. Editing Existing ACL Groups:

    • Locate the ACL group you wish to edit from the list.

    • Click on the "Edit" option corresponding to the group.

    • Update the name, description, ranking, or other details as required.

    • Save the changes once you have finished editing.

  6. Activating or Deactivating ACL Groups:

    • Toggle the "Inactive" option to activate or deactivate an ACL group.

    • Deactivating a group may temporarily restrict its usage for access control purposes.

  7. Managing Deleted ACL Groups:

    • Deleted ACL groups may be retained for historical purposes or permanently removed from the system, depending on organizational policies.

    • Ensure that any data associated with deleted ACL groups is appropriately handled and archived as needed.

  8. Best Practices:

    • Regularly review and update ACL groups to align with changes in organizational structure, roles, and access requirements.

    • Document the purpose and membership criteria for each ACL group to facilitate understanding and administration.

By following these steps and best practices, administrators can effectively manage ACL groups, ensuring that access control is configured and maintained according to organizational security policies and requirements.
