Manage user assignment to groups using the User Permission Wizard
You create groups by basing them on some criteria such as the user role or the department. By adding users to groups, you can manage their permissions easily. When you add a user to a group, the user inherits the permissions of the group. Users in Made2Manage can belong to one or more groups. For example, a sales manager can belong to the Sales group and the Manager group. When a user belongs to multiple groups, you can set a particular group as the default group for that user. Made2Manage then assigns the user the permissions of the default group. If you don’t define a default group for a user, then Made2Manage assigns the user the permission of the first group the user is assigned to. If you don’t assign a user to any group, the user by default belongs to the group EVERYONE.
Use the User Permission Wizard (PERMWIZ) page to assign users to groups or to remove them from a group.
When you delete a user from a group, then Made2Manage deletes all permissions associated with the group and user combination. When you delete a user from the default group then:
-
If the user is not added to any other group or if no other group exists, then Made2Manage assigns the user to the EVERYONE group.
-
If the user is added to other groups, then Made2Manage sets the first group to which the user is added to as the default group for the user.
