Efficient user group administration
User groups enable the creation of a shared right profile for several users with identi-
cal rights. Furthermore, the user accounts that are included in the member list can
be grouped and therefore no longer have to be individually configured. This facili-
tates the rights administration within the matrix system.
If the rights administration takes place within the user groups, the user profile only
stores general data and user-related settings (key combinations, language settings, …).
When initiating the matrix system, it is recommended to create different groups for
users with different rights (e. g., »Office« and »IT«) and assign the respective user
accounts to these groups.
EXAMPLE: Creat more groups if the user rights are to be further divided. If, for exam-
ple, some users of the »Office« group are to be provided with the multi-access right, a
respective user group can be created:

Create a user group (e. g., »Office_MultiAccess«) with identical settings for the »Office«
group. The multi-access right is set to full. Assign the respective user accounts to this
group.
 Create a user group (e. g., »MultiAccess«) and only set the multi-access right to Yes. In
addition to the »Office« group, also assign the respective user accounts to this
group.
In both cases, the user is provided with the full effective right for multi-access.
Administrating user accounts
User accounts enable you to define individual rights for every user. The personal
profile also provides the possibility to define several user-related settings.
ADVICE: The user profile offers the possibility to provide extended rights to a
group member.
IMPORTANT: The administrator and any user that holds the Superuser right are per-
mitted to create and delete user accounts and edit rights and user-related settings.
