Adding a Group

User Groups allow you to set permissions for a group of Users who share a similar function in Author-it - for example, writers, reviewers, or Administrators. After you have created the Group you can specify who its members are. Users who are members of a Group inherit its permissions, and can have their own individual permissions as well.

To Add a Group:

1. From the main menu, choose Security > User and Group Accounts.... The User and Group Accounts window opens. Select the Groups tab.

   

2. Choose New. In the Group Name window enter the name of the new Group, then choose OK.

   

   The window closes and the new Group is added.

3. Select the Group in the Author-it Group drop-down list, then select the Active Directory Group the Author-it group will be mapped to. Choose Match to complete the mapping. Choose Yes in the confirmation message box.

   

4. Choose Apply to save the new Group.
5. Repeat Steps 2 to 4 for each new Group, then choose the OK button to close the window.
