Group Administration

 

The group administration page is where all groups can be viewed, edited, and created. It is here where you can add users to an existing group, create a new group, or modify an existing group.

 

Status: The group can either be Active or Inactive. By being active, the group can be accessed and edited. An inactive group cannot be accessed or edited.

Group Name: The name that the group was given at the time of creation.

Group Owner: The user who is the owner to the group. As the owner to the group, the user can edit the properties of the group and control the users who are in the group.

 

Group Name: The name that you would like the group to appear for the users to see. It must be at least 6 characters in length. Once you have entered a user name of at least 6 characters, click the Add button to create the group. You will then be taken to this screen to enter in additional information about the group.

Group Creator: The user who created the group.

Owner: The user who is the owner to the group. As the owner to the group, the user can edit the properties of the group and control the users who are in the group. To select or change the owner, simply double click on the user from the user list and they will show up as the owner.

User List: The user list contains all users that are classified as either primary contributors or administrators and are therefore eligible to be owners to the group.

Member: This is where all users in the group will be listed. To add a user to the group, select a user from the not a member list and click the  button. The user will now appear in the Member list. To remove or delete a user from the group, click the  button. The user will no longer show up in the member list. Make sure to add the owner of the group as a member, because this will not be done automatically.

Not Member: This is a list of all users in the system who are not currently a member of the group. If a user is a member of the group, they will not appear in this list, yet they will appear in the member list to the left. Make sure to add the owner of the group as a member, because this will not be done automatically.

 

Once all selections have been made pertaining to the properties and users of the group as detailed above, then click the  button to make the group and apply the settings that were made. If you do not wish to make a group at this time, click the  button to exit out of the create group screen.
