Groups

Overview¶

The group’s app allows an administrator to create, delete and modify groups on the system. Groups can be used to efficiently manage permissions in accessing server resources. This app divides the grouping list into two core parts namely, User Defined Group and Default Admin Group.

Note

The User Defined Groups section can be used to add new groups and specific users can then be assigned to the newly created groups based on their role.

Installation¶

The Groups application is installed by default and can be accessed from the left-hand navigation panel.

Left-hand Navigation Panel > System Configuration > Account Roles > Groups
