User Groups

In scenarios where a group of users requires identical access levels to a database, the concept of User Groups can be utilized to more effectively manage their access.

User Groups function similarly to roles within a project. For instance, if architects or electrical engineers require the same access rights, a User Group can be created to encompass these users. All users associated with a User Group will be granted the access rights assigned to that group. If access rights are modified in the User Group, all associated users will automatically have their access rights updated in accordance with these changes.

Creating a User Group

To create a new User Group, an individual must have project or owner administrator privileges and can do so from the project detail page:

Click on the Add User Group option to initiate the creation of a new User Group.

Set a name for the user group, define the permissions and select Add User Group

Architect User Group created and added to the list of User Groups

Assign a User Group

After selecting a user group, making changes to permissions offers two options -
create a **New Usergroup** OR set **Unique Permissions** without a User Group.

Creating a New Usergroup requires giving it a name - Select Add/Update users to complete the process.

Setting a User Group on multiple projects will present this warning message.
