When a user logs in to Kron PAM, the Menu Screens to be used are not displayed if there is no defined portal functions realm for the user’s user groups. After creating the device realm, the portal functions realm should be defined between the user groups and the **netright.discovery.moduleVisibility **portal function, so that users can access devices in the created Device Group from the portal menu screen.
