Push Templates

Users with Lighthouse Administrator privileges (that is, users with the Lighthouse Administrator role or users who are members of groups with the Lighthouse Administrator role) can access Node TOOLS > Config Templates and push templates affecting nodes in node filters linked to their role.

The following types of templates can be applied to selected nodes:

• Authentication

• Users and Groups

• Script

• Netops Module Activation

• Port Logging

• Smart Management Fabric

Lighthouse Administrators can manually apply the Netops modules of Secure Provisioning, Automation Gateway, or IP Access to the suitable Opengear Console Server node.
