Assigning Users to a User Group when Defining a User Group

To Assign a User to a User Group

In the Administration perspective go to User Groups and open the group that you want to assign the User to. The Assigned Users page is displayed.
Click the Assign Users button in the toolbar.
On the Assign User dialog select one or more Users and select the Assign Users button at the bottom to assign them to the group.

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.
Save your changes.
