> # Group-Based SNMP Access

> Note Because group is a standard SNMP term used industry-wide, we refer to role(s) as group(s) in this SNMP section.

> SNMP access rights are organized by groups. Each group in SNMP is similar to a role through the CLI. Each group is defined with three accesses: read access, write access, and notification access. Each access can be enabled or disabled within each group.

> You can begin communicating with the agent once your user name is created, your roles are set up by your administrator, and you are added to the roles.
