User Accounts
Every person who logs into SIP is referred to as a User.
- User accounts are managed in the Administration module.
- Users can be authenticated using a third-party authentication server such as LDAP or RADIUS. Depending on how that authentication is configured, these users may not exist as individual accounts in the Administration module.
- All users belong to the All Users user group.
- To access features and functionality in Security Manager or its add-on modules, users must be assigned to at least one user group.
- A user can belong to multiple groups.
- In an MSSP deployment, users can belong to the enterprise (main) domain or to a customer domain. Users cannot be mapped to multiple domains, but if this is needed then the user should be added to a user group in the enterprise domain and then granted permissions to other domains.
- A user account cannot be deleted, only disabled.

Grant Permissions to Users
Permissions are assigned to User Groups. To provide permissions to data and functionality in SIP, begin by adding a user to. Then, assign that user to a User Group.
Since every user is assigned to the All Users group, FireMon recommends not setting any permissions for this group.
