Administering Users, Groups, and Roles
To assign groups, select the Groups tab, then click the checkbox in front of each
group you want the user to belong to. Figure 21 shows the tab with the default
groups, but if you added any, they are also displayed.
Figure 21. Assigning a User to One or More Groups
A user also needs a default group, which is used to identify objects the user
creates. Choose the default group by selecting the appropriate radio button.
Every object the user creates will belong to that group and have its permissions.
It is a good policy for most of your users to have the default group of staff,
reserving the admin group for administrators. Click the Refresh button to add
groups created while you were creating the current users. Any new groups will
appear in the dialog.
Assigning Roles to Users
In addition to belonging to a group, a user needs a default role. Roles determine
the actions a user is allowed to perform, such as editing an area or viewing e-
mail settings.
To assign a role to a user, select the Role tab, then select one of the role radio
buttons (Figure 22).
Figure 22. Assigning a Role to a User
If you are unsure which role the user should have, you can click each role to see
the permissions a user has for the Tools menu and the context menu in Explorer.
You can also select the Users and Groups dialog’s Roles tab (Figure 27) and see
the privileges assigned to each role.
