Assigning users to user groups

Both users and user groups must exist to complete the next set of steps.

To assign users to user groups

  1. Select Admin > Users > User Groups. The window displays all user groups.
  2. Select the user group to which you want to add a user.
  3. Click Members. A list of users is displayed. This dialog lists details for each member including if the user was created in the local Portal or if they were added through an Active Directory (AD) system.
  4. Select the check box for the user that you want to add to the user group, then click OK.

    Note:

    A user with Administrative privileges is only permitted to add a user to a group for which that Administrative user is also a member. Therefore, when you create a group, immediately add the Administrative user to the group to enable management of that group.
