System and User Groups

System Groups

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite has an initial set of pre-installed 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.

Each system group except Everyone contains a set of feature-packed subgroups.

Everyone

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

Active Directory

Group contains users and user groups registered in the Active Directory domain. This group appears in the anti-virus network tree after executing the Synchronization with Active Directory task from the Dr.Web Server schedule.

Configured

Group contains stations which have personal settings specified.

Neighbors

The Neighbors group contains all Dr.Web Servers connected to this Dr.Web Server and designed to manage connections between Dr.Web Servers in a multi-server anti-virus network (for more details, see Peculiarities of a Network with Several Dr.Web Servers).

Configuring of new interserver connections is described in Setting Connections between Several Dr.Web Servers.

The Neighbors group contains subgroups displaying the state of neighbor Dr.Web Servers connected to this Dr.Web Server:

•All neighbors group contains all neighbor Dr.Web Servers connected to this Dr.Web Server.

•Children group contains subordinate Dr.Web Servers.

•Offline group contains currently offline Dr.Web Servers.

•Online group contains currently online Dr.Web Servers.

•Parents group contains main Dr.Web Servers.

•Peers group contains peer Dr.Web Servers.

Operating system

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.

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

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

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

•Unknown OS category. It includes stations working under an OS that is unknown to Dr.Web Server.

Policies

Group contains policies for configuring stations.

Profiles

Group contains profiles with settings of the Application Control component for stations under Windows OS. See Profiles.

Proxies

Group contains Dr.Web Proxy Servers for connecting the Agents and neighbor Dr.Web Servers.

Status

The Status group contains subgroups reflect the current status of the station, that is if it is connected to Dr.Web 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 Dr.Web 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 stations not registered at Dr.Web Server at the moment. When the registration is approved, stations will be removed from this group automatically (see the New Stations Approval Policy section for more details).

•Offline group contains all workstations not connected at the moment.

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

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

Transport

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

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

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

Ungrouped

Group contains stations, which are not included in any of user groups.

User Groups

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

The following parameters are considered:

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