Default Privilege Level for Authenticated Users
When accessing NMIS, you have a choice on how to handle authenticated users who do not have authorisations defined, you can reject them, or you can allow them default access.
This is so that you do not have to define every user in the system if the authentication system is providing a reduced list of users, to have the users become an operator or guest by default and be able to see all groups of devices, the following would apply.
'auth_default_privilege' => 'guest',
'auth_default_groups' => 'all',
To prevent default authorisation, simply define them as blank, which is the default in the NMIS8 Install configuration.
