User Groups
The KX II stores an internal list of all user and group names to determine
access authorization and permissions. This information is stored
internally in an encrypted format. There are several forms of
authentication and this one is known as local authentication. All users
have to be authenticated. If the KX II is configured for LDAP/LDAPS or
RADIUS, that authentication is processed first, followed by local
authentication.

An individual group is essentially a “group” of one.
That is, the specific user is in its own group, not
affiliated with other real groups. Individual groups can
be identified by the “@” in the Group Name. The
individual group allows a user account to have the
same rights as a group.
