3. Groups

A group is a named set of people. Giving access to a group is easier than giving it to each person (chapter 4), and you can put a budget on a group (chapter 7). Every site has a group with its name, and there is an Admin group for administrators.

See the groups#

Open User & Groups and choose the Groups tab.

The tab lists every group: Admin, one per site and any groups you created.

Create a group#

1. Choose Create Group.
2. Enter a Group Name and a Description.
3. Confirm.

How to check it worked: the group appears in the list. Groundzero shows no confirmation message.

Add people to a group or remove them#

1. On the group's row, open Actions and choose Add users to a group.
2. The right pane lists the current members. Add people from the left.
3. Choose Save. The toast says "Group user list updated successfully".

Removing a member from the right pane takes effect at once, without needing Save.

Delete a group#

On the group's row, open Actions, choose Delete and confirm. Check chapter 4 first, because people lose whatever access came only through that group.

Troubleshooting#

• A person cannot reach the admin area ("Access restricted"). Cause: they are not in the Admin group. Fix: add them.
• A person lost access after a group was deleted. Cause: their access came through that group. Fix: add them to another group that has the permissions, or give them access directly (chapter 4).
