User Groups

User Groups are users, grouped for managing their access permissions to ELMA objects. This allows you to avoid configuring the system for each user individually.

You can create user groups in several ways:

in ELMA Designer, Organizational Structure tab, User Groups section;

Fig. 1. ELMA Designer. "Organizational Structure" tab. "User Groups" section
in Web Application, in Administration – Users – Groups (fig. 2).

When you add/delete a user group in ELMA Designer, it will be added/deleted from the list in Web Application. It works both ways, i.e. when you add/delete a group in Web Application, it will be added/deleted from the list of groups in ELMA Designer. To learn more about user groups in ELMA Designer, see the respective Help section.

There are the following user group types in ELMA:

system – default groups in the system. These groups cannot be deleted. By default, the members of these groups have a configured set of permissions to the system objects; the list of permissions is displayed on the group page, Permissions section.
user – groups, created by ELMA users (e.g. by the administrator). These groups can be deleted.

A group can include:

separate users;
user groups;
organizational structure items.

To create a new group, click the Add Group button in the Groups section. To learn more about adding groups in Web Application, see the respective Help section.
