Assigning the User to User Groups

User Groups let you collect Users and assign them identical authorizations and privileges. This helps you simplify administrative tasks. You can add as many User Groups as you need. Users can be assigned to as many User Groups as needed.

Note: User and User Group lists will show up if the user viewing them has the Access to Administration privilege assigned.

To Assign a User to a User Group

1. In the Administration perspective go to User Groups and open the one that you want to assign the User to.

2. On the Assigned Users page, click the Assign User button in the toolbar.

3. On the Assign User dialog select the user and assign it to the group.

4. Save your changes.

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.

To Remove Users from a User Group

On the Assigned Users page, click the Remove button in the toolbar.

Tip: You may need to work with many objects, lists and monitors simultaneously. To make your work easier, you can open them in different browser windows and arrange them side by side on your screen.
