Configuring Access Groups

When you click the Configure Access Groups button on the Main Configuration Page you will go to the Configure Access Groups page.

From here you can add, manage, and delete access groups on your site. To add a new group you simply type in the group name and click the Add Group button. This will take you to the Add Access Group page (similar to the Revise Access Group page shown below). Add users (as described below) and click the add button (in place of the Update button show below).

The screen shots above show the Access Groups in the original state (like you see them in a new web site) and after a group for the faculty has been added. Keep in mind that the Site Owner is automatically a member of all Access Groups on their site.

Managing Users

When you create a new group you will be sent to the Revise Access Group page. This also happens when you click the View/Configure link for an existing group.

This is where you can add or delete users from an access group. From here you can rename the group as well.

To add users to an access group you simply type their email addresses (one per line) in the Update Members text box and then click Update (or Update & Done). When you have added new users the Membership list below will update.

Users can be removed individually by clicking the Remove link by their email address.

Advanced Use

The Update Members menu defaults to "Add the users in the list below" and adds any users you type into the list. The other two options are "Remove the users in the list below" and "Replace group members with users in the list below."
