Command Control has three types of groups:
User Groups: Contain users with similar responsibilities. This allows you to use the group as a condition for a rule, which either allows or denies the users the rights to run commands.
Host Groups: Contains hosts with similar content. This allows you to use the group as a condition for a rule that either allows or denies the rights to run the command on a host.
Account Groups: Combine host groups and user groups to be used together in setting rule conditions. Account groups can also contain other account groups. You can also use account groups as script entities.
For example, you could create a Web Account Group, and to this group you could add a user group that contains all the Web server managers and a host group that contains all the host that are Web servers. You could then use the Web Account Group as a condition when creating rules for Web server management.
The following sections explain how to manage these groups:
