Group Permissions
Access control lists (permissions or access rights) can be assigned to user groups. Each space can have groups that contain users and have access rights. Users can be members of multiple groups. The users in a group get the access rights assigned to the group. This can be assigned through Admin 2.0 or by Using the Command Window. When a user belongs to more than one account group, the permissions are inclusive.
Manage Group ACLs from Admin 2.0
- From Admin 2.0, select Account Groups.
- Select or create your group.
- Select your Permissions and Features. For an explanation of ACLs, see the Group Permissions section below.
