ControlPoint 8.8 - Administration Guide

Auto Add Users To ControlPoint Group Maximum Group Size (CPGroupMemberLimit)

By default, when the Auto Add Users to ControlPoint Groups action is used, any individual ControlPoint user group can have up to 1000 members.  

When a ControlPoint group reaches its maximum number of users, ControlPoint automatically creates a new group with the same permissions as the "base" group.  

EXAMPLE:

If you want all users who are members of site Owners groups to be added to the ControlPoint Business Administrators group, and more than 1000 users meet that criterion:

·when Business Administrators group membership reaches 1000, a new group named Business Administrators_1 will be created and the next 1000 users will be added to that group.  

·when Business Administrators_1 group membership reaches 1000, a group named Business Administrators_2 will be created, and so on.

ControlPoint Application Administrators can change this limit by updating the Value of the ControlPoint Configuration Setting
Auto Add Users To ControlPoint Group Maximum Group Size.

NOTE:  This limit is enforced only when the Auto Add Users to ControlPoint Group action is used.

Permissions Needed to See List Items in Reports (ItemSecurityLevel)

By default, the following ControlPoint analyses show list items, even those to which a ControlPoint user does not have permissions:

·Activity by User and

·Activity by Document

·Site Lists and Libraries Storage

The ControlPoint Application Administrator can, however, tighten security trimming so that only ControlPoint users who are site collection administrators can see list items in these analyses by changing the Value of the ControlPoint Configuration Setting Permissions Needed to See List Items in Reports from SITE to COLLECTION.

Business Administrators Group Name (BADMIN)

One of the user groups that is created in the ControlPoint Configuration Site when ControlPoint is first installed is intended for business users (Site Administrators) who use ControlPoint to manage their own sites.  See Making ControlPoint Available to Business Users (Site Administrators) in the ControlPoint User's Guide.

The default name that ControlPoint assigns to this group is Business Administrators.  Because of special configuration requirements, if a different name is assigned to this group then the ControlPoint Application Administrator must update the Value of the ControlPoint Setting Business Administrators Group Name with the new name so that ControlPoint will continue to recognize it.

NOTE:  This is an Advanced Setting.
