Apart from granting access permissions to each individual user, you can grant access permissions to multiple users simultaneously by assigning users to groups. To manage user groups, open the Administration and Monitoring Console and click Settings → Groups. You can use the search bar to find a specific group in the list. The procedure for creating and managing groups is similar to the procedure for creating and managing users.

  2. Specify the following settings:
    • Name
      The name of the new group.
    • Description
      A description of the new group.
  3. A group can be a part of another group. To add a group to another group, click the Add link in the Belongs to groups section.
    Note: If a user belongs to group A and you add this group to group B, the user will receive all permissions granted to both groups.
  4. To add users to the group, click the click the Add link in the Users section and select the desired users in the Users dialog box.
    Note: You can also add a user to a group using the options on the user’s account page. To view a user’s account page, click Settings → Users and select a user.
    Note: If a user belongs to one or more groups, the user will receive all of the permissions granted to all groups he/she belongs to in addition to the permissions granted to him/her.
  5. Set up the group’s roles and permissions for projects and batch types in these projects.
