User Groups

This view allows managing the available User Groups and assigning authorizations at group level.

Once a User Group is created, individual Users can be assigned to it. A User Group typically regroups two or more users who perform a similar task. The effort to manage users is reduced as their permissions are set at the group level.

These tasks can only be carried out when you are logged in as a user that has System Administrator access rights. For more information about Access Levels, see chapter Users #Permissions-Tab.
