What is a user group?

A user group consists of multiple users who share the same access rights for part or all of a database. For more details, see Security on Topics.

Prerequisites

You must be logged in as an Administrator.
Users must already exist in the system before they can be added to a group. To create new users, see User Management.

Create a new group

Log in as an Administrator.
Go to Administration > Access Management.
Select the Groups tab.
In the Groups section, click New.
Enter a Group Name.
- Optionally, provide separate names for other languages.
Click OK to create the group.

Add users to a group

Select the group you want to add users to.
In the Selection area, click Add.
A list of available users appears.
Select one or more users (use SHIFT or CTRL for multiple selections).
Click Select to add them to the group.

Remove users from a group

Select the group in the Access Management window.
In the Selection area, select the user(s) you want to remove.
Click Remove.

Delete a group

In Access Management, select the Groups tab.
Highlight the group you want to delete in the Groups section.
Click Delete.
Note: Deleting a group does not delete the user accounts in that group.

Important notes

Groups help manage permissions efficiently across multiple users.
Always verify group membership before deleting a group to avoid access issues.
