NetMan users can be assigned membership in NetMan User Groups. These supplement the existing network groups. Even if you cannot or do not want to use any other form of user groups, organize your NetMan users in NetMan groups in order to assign 'execute' permissions in Scripts, and Actions within Scripts, to these groups. This chapter describes how to create and edit user groups, and lists the properties of user groups.
NetMan user groups are created in the NetMan Center.
1. Select Users: Click on the Users button in the sidebar.
2. Open the Groups view: Click on Groups in the sidebar to open the Groups view for user groups.
3. New: Click on the New button in the Ribbon.
4. Enter group ID: Enter an ID for the new user group in the User group field.
If you activate the Open the new object in the editor option, the new user group is automatically opened in the Resource Editor.
5. Create: Click on the Create button. The new user group is created. If you had selected the Open the new object in the editor option, the user group is automatically opened now in the Resource Editor. Alternatively, you can open the group for editing in the NetMan Center.
