To add a new group
When you add a group, you must name the group, add to users to the group, and assign permissions to the group. If a user has different privileges assigned than the group permissions, then the complete set of user permissions is the user permissions plus the group permissions. If a user is assigned to multiple groups, then the user’s permissions are a sum of all the groups’ permissions.
1. On the Geneticist Assistant main menu, click File > User Management.
The User Management dialog box opens. The User tab is the open tab.
2. Click the Group tab to open it.
The tab displays all the groups by name that are currently configured for your Geneticist Assistant installation.
3. Click Add New Group.
The Add New Group dialog box opens. All users who can be added to a group are displayed in the All Users pane.
4. Enter the name for the new group.
 | Uppercase and lowercase and spaces are allowed. No special characters are allowed. |
5. In the All Users pane, select the users whom you are adding to the group (CTRL-click to select multiple users in a single step), and then click Add.
| | If you add a user in error, you can remove them. Select the user in the Current Users pane (CTRL-click to select multiple users in a single step), and then click Remove. |
6. In the Permissions pane, add or delete the permissions for the group as needed. You can add or delete permissions individually, or you can add or delete all permissions of a specific type in a single step.
• To add all permissions of a specific type (for example, View), select the check box next to the type.
• To clear all permissions of a specific type, clear the check box for the type.
| | Be aware of the dependencies for these permissions. For example, if a group is to be able to add chemistries, then the group must also be able to view chemistries. |
7. Click OK.
The Add New Group dialog box closes. The User Management dialog box remains opens.
