Managing web service groups

This section explains how to look up and manage (add, delete and change members) web service groups.

The operations in this section must be performed in administration interface of the SNS firewall in Configuration > Objects > Web services, Groups tab.

Looking up web service groups and their members

Available groups appear in the List of groups grid. Two types are available:

  • Predefined groups: created and maintained by Stormshield, containing only official web services. These groups are always in read-only mode;

  • Custom groups: created and managed by an administrator on the SNS firewall and may contain both official and custom web services.

For each group, you will see the number of members it contains. Double-click on a group to display its members in the Members of the group grid on the right.

Adding a web service group

  1. In the List of groups grid, click on Add.

  2. Assign a name to the web service group. Enter comments if necessary.

  3. Click on Apply.

The group will be created without any members. The Members of the group grid appears on the right, allowing you to add members.

Managing members of a web service group

  1. In the List of groups grid, double-click on the group in question.
