Creating and Populating User Groups

You can separate Users into User Groups. User Groups allow Privileges to be set, so that only members of a given User Group will have the privilege to be able to view data relating to the User Group. Users added to a Group inherit the viewing privileges associated with that Group.

1.Select Admin>User Group Management. The Create User Group dialogue box appears.

Create User Group

(In this example, two new Users, named User1 and User2 have been created. None of them are members of a Group yet.)

2.Enter a name for the Group into the Group Name: field.

3.Select a user in the Non-Members list who you want to be member of the named Group.

4.Click DoubleRightArrow .

5.Repeat as necessary (or hold down the Ctrl key while selecting users, then click DoubleRightArrow).

6.Click Add Members.

Note: You can define a Group to correspond to physical location on a Site. Another approach would be to define and name Groups by sensor type, for example, a Group for all temperature sensors or a Group for all humidity sensors (or a Group for all temperature and humidity sensors).
