How to Add, Edit or Delete User's Groups

By default, all users, when added to the system are made members of the Standard User group. Administrators can add, edit and delete additional group roles to users through the user profile as follows:

1. Access the User Profile by selecting Advanced Menu, User Management, Users, finding the desired User and clicking on the row of the User's info to launch the User Details Page / Profile.
2. Click on the Groups tab in the Navigation Bar or scroll down to the section Available Groups to see a listing of Groups associated with the User.
   
3. To add a new Group, click the New Group button at the top right of the Available Groups section.
   1. To edit the existing info, click the pencil icon in the Edit column on the far right of the row of the group you wish to edit.
   2. To delete an existing group association, click on the red X in the Delete Column on the left side of the row of the specifically named group. Confirm if asked. (NOTE: It is recommended practice to edit and make a group association inactive, rather than delete).
4. This will launch the Add User Group / Group Details Screen in a popup window.
   
5. Use the Group* drop down menu to select the group to add from the prepopulated listing of all groups created for the organization.
6. Click the Active checkbox if wishing to make this group association active for this user.
7. Click on the triangle icon to select the required Division* field from the popup availability tree.
   1. Use the + sign to expand the tree.
   2. Select the checkbox next to the appropriate division to which this group will apply.
8. Enter additional optional information as desired.
9. When all entries are complete, click Save.
10. The popup will close and the new Group will appear in the Available Groups section.
