• Assigning File Groups to Users
  After creating file groups and parent-child relationships you want to use, you can assign file groups to users or user groups.
• Removing File Groups from Users
  You can remove file group assignments by user or user group.
• Changing the User Explorer Options
  You can access the Default Options tool from the User Explorer using a shortcut menu.
• Synchronizing Local Users and User Groups
  An administrator must manually import and synchronize local user and user groups to add them to the database, when the users and groups are not part of the existing domain. This can be done through the User Explorer module (when Application Control is set up) or the Synchronize Domain Members tool.
