Manage Servers as a Group

Overview

You can efficiently manage access accounts and policies for a large number of servers by grouping them together. Create server groups based on your requirements to streamline policy management and easily grant permissions to individual users or groups across multiple servers at once.

Create a Server Group

Server Settings > Connection Management > Server Groups > Create Group

Navigate to Server Settings > Connection Management > Server Groups menu.
Click the Create Group button located in the upper right corner.
Enter the following information to create the group:
1. Name : Provide a name to distinguish the server group on the screen.
2. Description : Optionally, you can enter additional details about this server group.
Save your changes by clicking the Save button.

The policy is initially set to default when the server group is created. Please navigate to the Edit screen after creation to customize the details and policies as needed.

Modify a Server Group

After creating a server group, you can modify five details using the Edit screen.

1. Basic Information

You can edit the name and description of the server group entered during its initial creation. For ease of identification, especially with multiple administrators, we recommend providing purposeful names and descriptions for each server group.

2. Add Servers to a Server Group

You can add servers to the group and filter them based on synced or manually added tags to display only the required servers.

Click the Add Server button in the top-right corner to open a popup with a list of servers at the top of the screen.
From the popup, select the server you want to add to the group and click Add.
1. You can filter servers by multiple criteria using the Filter(:필터:) function in the popup.
You will see the servers added to the server group.

3. Allowed Zone Configuration

Select the network bands that this server group can access. This setting is inherited by servers within the group. (However, if you've set the Allowed Zone to Operate separately for individual servers, those settings will take precedence.)

4. Account Registration

You can enter the account required to connect to the server in two ways:
1. Import from Server Account Templates: Press the Copy button to import an already registered account from the Server Account Templates menu at once.
  - For instructions on how to create a Server Account Template, refer to the Create a Server Account Template.
2. Manual Addition: Alternatively, add accounts manually using the Add Account feature.
The information you need to enter or set up in your individual Account is listed below.
1. Account: Enter a name to distinguish individual accounts.
2. Auth Type: Choose the authentication method for the account. Options include Password and SSH Key. If selecting SSH Key, ensure that the Auto Login setting is set to On.
3. Authority: If Password is selected, enter the password for authentication. For SSH Key, choose from the keys registered in SSH Key Configurations.
4. Auto Login: Toggle automatic login On or Off. When Off, only the Password authentication method is available.
5. SSH/SFTP: Determine whether to allow SSH or SFTP access with this account.
6. Test: Click the Test Connection button to verify the validity of the connection information. To test the entire account, click Test All in the upper right corner.
7. Test Result: View the result of the connection information test, displayed as either SUCCESS or FAILED

5. Policy Configuration

You can define the policy to be applied when users access the server group. This setting is inherited by servers within the group. However, if you've set the policy to 'Operate separately' for individual servers, the separately defined policy takes precedence. For more details on setting access policies, please refer to the section on Set Up Server Access Policies.
