How To Create A New User Group

This article will describe the process required to create a new user group.

We deliver every database with a standard set of user groups which are categorized by the users crew type. This can be altered and edited any way required by our customer.

Users can also create new user groups for roles not covered by the standard set referenced above.

1. Go to Administration -> User Groups.
   
   
   
   
2.  In the upper left hand corner of the tool bar select "new user group" which will then open the user group creation window.
   
   
   
   
3. You will have the option to either create a user group completely from scratch or base your new user group on a copy of an existing group already in place. If you select to "create copy of exisitng" this will create a new user group storing the same user rights as the group you have copied from. You can then edit this new user group to your specific requirements. 
   
   
4. In this example i will select "create new from scratch" and then select ok.
   
   
   
   
5. Next you can enter the name of the user group and add a short description if you wish to do so.
   
   
   
   
6.  This new user group can be saved by using any of the three save icons on the main taskbar.
   
   
   
   
7.  This new user group is now visible from Administration -> User Groups.
