User Definition: User Groups page of the General Section

The User Groups page of the General section of a user definition shows you which groups the user is assigned to. This is where you can add or remove the user from user groups.

 What you can see

The User Groups page contains two list boxes. On the left is the Member of box, which contains the groups that the user belongs to. On the right is the Not member of box,which contains the groups that the user does not belong to.

Steps to add and remove the user from groups

1. You can change the list of user groups a user belongs to by adding and removing groups to and from the Member of list by selecting user group(s) and clicking one of the mover arrow buttons, which are between the two list boxes.
• To add the user to a user group:
  

  Click a user group in the Not member of list and then click the left arrow button to move the user group to the Member of list.

• To remove the user from a user group:

  Click a user group in the Member of list and then click the right arrow button to move the user group to the Not member of list.

Tips: You also have the following methods for moving user groups from one box to the other:

• To move more than one user group at a time, hold the Ctrl key and click each user group name, or hold the Shift key to select the first and then the last user group in a contiguous list of user groups. After selecting the user groups, click the mover arrow button pointing to the other list.
• After selecting the user groups you can use "drag and drop" to move them to the other box.

 

2. Click the Save button above the sidebar.

The user will automatically have all rights and permissions that you define for any of the groups that the user belongs to. However, any rights and permissions that you define for the user in the other parts of the user definition apply only to the user, not to any of the groups.

Next steps...

From here you can continue to the other sections of the user definition to assign various authorizations, roles and rights to the user, depending on what is available in your ECC installation, for example continue with Assigning Automation Engine Authorizations.
