System and User Groups

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite has an initial set of preinstalled system groups. These groups are created during the installation of Dr.Web Server and may not be deleted. Still the administrator may disable their display, if necessary.

Group contains all stations known to Dr.Web Server. The Everyone group has default settings.

This category of groups represents the operating systems under which the stations are working at the moment. These groups are not virtual, may have station settings and be primary groups.

•Android family groups. This family includes a set of groups, that correspond to specific version of Android OS for mobile devices.

•OS Х family groups. This family includes a set of groups, that correspond to specific version of OS Х operating system.

•Netware group. This group contains stations, that operate under Novell NetWare OS.

•UNIX family groups. This family includes a set of groups, that correspond to OS of UNIX system-based systems, for example, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, etc.

•Windows family groups. This family includes a set of groups, that correspond to specific version of Windows operating system.

The Status group contains subgroups reflect the current status of the station, that is if it is connected to the Server or not at the moment. These groups are completely virtual, may not have any settings or be primary groups.

•Deinstalled group. Once Dr.Web Agent software has been deinstalled from a station, the station is transferred to the Deinstalled group.

•Deleted group. Contains stations, which were deleted by an administrator from the Server. Such stations can be restored (see p. Removing and Restoring Stations).

•New group. Contains new stations, which have been created by administrator via Dr.Web Security Control Center, but the Agent is not installed yet.

•Newbies group. Contains all unapproved stations not registered at the Server at the moment. When the registration is approved or access to the Server is denied, stations will be removed from this group automatically (see the New Stations Approval Policy section for more details).

•Online group. Contains all workstations connected at the moment (reacting to Server requests).

•Update Errors group. Contains all workstations that have been failed to update.

The following subgroups elicit the protocol of workstations connection to the Server. These groups are completely virtual, may not have any settings or be primary groups.

•TCP/IP group. The group contains workstations connected at the moment through the TCP/IP protocol.

•TCP/IP Version 6 group. The group contains workstations connected at the moment through the TCP/IP version 6 protocol.

These groups are assigned by the anti-virus network administrator for own needs. The administrator may create own groups and include workstations in them. The contents and names of such groups are not restricted by Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite in any manner.

In the table bellow, all possible groups and group types are given for your reference, along with the specific parameters supported (+) or not supported (–) by the groups.

•Automatic membership. The parameter reflects whether stations may be automatically included in the group (automatic membership support) and group contents automatically adjusted during Server operation.

•Membership administration. The parameter reflects whether the administrator can manage group membership: add stations to or remove from the group.

•Primary group. The parameter reflects whether the group can be primary for a station.

•Possibility to have own settings. The parameter reflects whether the group can have own settings of anti-virus components (to be propagated to its stations).
