Setting Up Groups

A Linewize Group is a collection of users that can be used to configure features in Linewize Filter appliance or Linewize Gateway and Monitor. Linewize Groups are mapped from a directory such as Active Directory, Azure Active Directory or Google Directory. This means that you are not explicitly modifying those directories in Monitor.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that:

• You have Administrator level permission in Monitor.
• Your directories are synced with Monitor (Azure, Google or on-premises Windows AD).

Creating a Smoothwall Group

1. Go to your Monitor Portal.
2. Select Admin Panel.
3. Select Linewize Groups from the sidebar.
4. If you have multiple Tenants, select the Tenant from the dropdown.
5. Select Add Linewize Group.
6. Enter a Group Name and Group Description.
7. If you have multiple directories available, select the Directory using the dropdown.
8. Using the checkboxes, select the Directory Groups you want to map into your Linewize Group.
   
   

   Note

   If you have multiple directories (Windows Active Directory, Azure Active Directory or Google Directory), you can map the users from all your directories into one Group. This means you don’t have to create a different Group for each directory.

9. Select Save.

You can edit the groups at any time, but at this stage you can’t delete a Group.
