To edit a group
When you edit a group, you can edit the users who belong to the group and the group permissions. You cannot edit the group name. To edit a group name, you must delete the existing group (see To delete a group), and then add the group with a new group name.
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. Do one of the following:
• Double-click the group that you are editing.
• Right-click the group that you are editing, and on the context menu that opens, click Edit Group.
The Edit Group dialog box opens. The dialog displays all the current information for the group—the group name, the users who are currently assigned to the group, and the permissions for the group.
4. To edit the users who belong to the group, do one or both of the following:
• To add users to the group—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.
• To remove users from a group—In the Current Users pane, select the users whom you are removing from the group, (CTRL-click to select multiple users in a single step), and then click Remove.
5. 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. |
6. Click OK.
The Edit Group dialog box closes. You return to the Group tab of the User Management dialog box.
