Managing Groups (Users)
Overview of Managing Groups
What is group management for? Why should you use it?
Grouping users who need access to the
same pages on the site. To manage access to web pages on the site
based on the needs of users. Assembling
users based on a shared need for access to
certain pages of the site prevents you from
having to assign page access on a user-by-
user basis.
Managing group access to web pages on your site is one way to enforce security on your site. When
setting up user groups, consider which personnel in your organization will need to access various pages
of the site. For example: The site administrator (and perhaps a back-up administrator) will need access
to every page. Members of the Operator group, who manage job production, will need access to many
of the site pages to complete their tasks. A bookkeeper or accountant may need access to pages such as
Cost Centers, Accounts, and Reports.
Groups are not a subset of a Company unless you configure them as such by limiting a group’s
page access (see To manage a group’s page access ).
The design of groups depends upon your business and the customers who will access your site. You may
want to create new groups for different companies to enable access to different areas of your site.
