Managing User Groups

Learn how to manage your user groups from within OneBoxBM.

Manage your list of user groups, within OneBoxBM, using the user group manager.

Key Points

When managing user groups, the main points to be aware of are.

  • Group names must be unique.
  • Users can be assigned to multiple groups.
  • In order to manage user groups, you must be granted access to do so.
  • The super user group cannot be changed directly.
  • The primary user and any super users already have full system access, so there is little to be gained from assinging them to a group directly.
  • You may be presented with a list of users when deleting a group; said list will include all users that will be affected by the action.
