In order to enable SFTP access for devices that have already been defined with SSH, a parameter must be set for the user groups, allowing the pre-defined settings configured for SSH connections to be easily used to establish an SFTP connection. (See also [Device Management](docId:701N9ZB2bFiE8GYWUezRY)) 


After adding the device required for both SFTP and SSH with an SSH access protocol:

1. Navigate to** User Management **> **User Accounts **> **User Group Definition**.
2. Right-click the desired user group and select **Show Properties**.
3. Set the **allowSftpInSshDevices** property as “**true**”.
