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 appears. Select the Groups tab.

   

2. Choose the New button on the Groups tab. A window appears, ready for you to enter the name of the new Group.

   

3. Enter the name of the new Group, then choose OK. The window closes and the new Group appears in the Group drop-down list.
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.
