Administering Groups

Administering Groups

Add a new group

This should be used very rarely and only if you have users who don’t fit into the above groups. Please get in touch if you need help.

1. Login to Site Manager with an account with administrator rights
2. Click the ‘Users’ icon in the top right of the menu bar to show a list of user groups
3. Click the ‘New Group...’ button
4. Give it an intuitive name and description
5. Click OK to save the group

Tip

You will need to add users to the group (see administering users) and change the permissions on files and sections (see permissions and workflow) for the new group to have any effect.

Delete a group

This should only be done if you created a group by accident and need to delete it. Deleting a group which has members in it will not delete the members but it will affect their access rights if permissions have been associated with the group. Please use with extreme caution.

1. Login to Site Manager with an account with administrator rights
2. Click the ‘Users’ icon in the top right of the menu bar to show a list of user groups
3. Tick the checkbox next to the group you want to delete. This will turn the respective table row(s) blue. Un-tick the box if you make a mistake.
4. Click the Delete button
5. On the following page click OK to confirm you want to permanently delete the group.
