User Groups
Introduction
To manage User Groups, navigate to the Gear Icon in the top right of the application and select Users. Here you will be able to create new User Groups, deactivate users, assign users to Roles, and assign users to User Groups.
User Groups vs Roles and Permissions
Roles and Permissions dictates what features a user can view what actions a user can take within the application. e.g a role called Submit Forms will have the following permissions
- Forms: Read
- Forms: Write
This will grant the user the ability to view form submissions and submit new forms.
User Groups allow you to create groupings of users for the purpose of workflow assignment and notifications. e.g you can have two User Groups called Team A and Team B and you can then assign leak detection workflows to the respective groups. All users within Team A will get notifications for their assigned workflows and the same applies for Team B.
User Group Categories
User Group Categories allow you to combine similar user groups under one category. Example: A Category could be called "LDAR Techs" and you can have many User Groups under "LDAR Techs: where each User Group is a grouping of LDAR techs for different regions within your company.
- To create new Categories, Navigate to the User Groups tab and click on 'Create Group Category'.
