Grouping

If you are a Federation-level Administrator, you will be able to group your system users into groups, your organisations into groups, and denote specific permissions for each group of users.

For example, if you want to give a specific group of people Administrator access to a regional group of organisations.

Note: If you do not have permission, this will be identified by a padlock. Please contact your system administrator for the required access.

Add Users

First, you'll need to add users to your organisation/federation. This can either be done by Adding a New User to their specific organisation, or if they are a Tfederation level user you can add them to your Federation User List (Please see - Adding a Trust Level User)

Once your users have been added, you can then follow the three steps below to create your groups and assign permissions. 

Step 1: User Groups

Now, you can add your users to a new group. For example, if you want to add regional users into a group together. User Groups allows you to group together staff members.
