Organizing users into Groups
Why it's good practice to organize users into groups, and how to do it.
What groups are for
Users can be arranged in groups to make it easier to control access to your archives and workflows.
The Everyone and Registered Users groups are system default groups and cannot be deleted or modified.
Each user in FotoWeb is a member of the Everyone and the Registered Users groups, except for the Guest user, who is not regarded as a registered user.
Creating a new group and adding users to it
To create a group, open the Tools menu and choose Manage Users/Groups. Go to the Groups tab and select Add new group.
Name the group and choose the default license that should be applied to users that are imported into this group. You can also make the group a member of another group using the Access drop down.
Users and groups can be removed from the group by selecting them in the list and choosing Remove.
Default groups in FotoWare SaaS
For convenience, three groups exist from the start in FotoWare SaaS. When creating additional groups, these can be added to one of the three existing groups to apply basic permissions in the system.
All three groups have the Editor license assigned. However, their group permissions vary, making them suitable for different usage scenarios.
