Groups

In the Groups area, user groups can be created, edited, or deleted.

The Administrator user group is the only one that cannot be edited or deleted, and has all rights.

The user groups are designed to combine different access rights.

<Add> creates a new group, while clicking on the group name enables the group to be edited.

General:

The rights that the members of the group have are assigned here. If a right is disabled, the function or the menu item is not displayed.

If the Read only field is enabled, the user can view the relevant function but cannot edit it.

Since a user can be part of multiple groups, and thus has the combined set of access rights, it is possible to strictly prohibit a right. This revokes that right from members of the group, although the user may possibly be part of another group that has the right.

During parallel operation, some fields are grayed out. These fields have no influence on this system until it has been migrated to the ibaCMC v3.0.0 version.
