The DHCP Users group provides a way to grant read-only console access to the DHCP server. Members of DHCP Users group are granted the right to view, but not to modify, data for the applicable server in the DHCP console. For more information about DHCP groups, see Related Topics.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
