Creating User Groups

In addition to individual user accounts, you can create user groups. Users assigned to a user group will have permissions for all areas associated with that user group in addition to the permissions granted for their individual accounts.

For convenience, there are default user groups created, including:

• Software Admin
• Help Desk
• Network Admin

These user groups are set with a series of default permissions. You can edit the permissions for the groups to suit your needs or create a new user group.

To create a new user group:

1   Click Tools > User Management.

The User Management dialog box appears.

2   Click Add.

The Add User or Group dialog box appears.

3   Select the User Group option.
4   In the Group Name text box, enter the name of the group.
5   In the Users list, check all users that you want to add to the group.

Note:   If you have not added any Normal users, the list box will be empty. See Creating User Accounts for information about creating users.

6   From the Type drop-down list, select if the user group is Normal or Administrator.
7   You can assign regional and profile permissions by clicking on the tabs now, or an Administrator can modify permissions later.
8   When you are finished, click OK.

To view the users in a user group:

1   Click Tools > User Management.

The User Management dialog box appears.

2   Select the user group you want to view details for and click Edit.
3   The Edit User Group dialog box appears. The users assigned to the group are in the Users list. If desired, edit the information and click OK.

To view the user groups that a specific user is assigned to:

1   Click Tools > User Management.

The User Management dialog box appears.

2   Select the user you want to view details for and click Edit.
3   The Edit User dialog box appears. The groups the user is assigned to are in the User Groups list. If desired, edit the information and click OK.
