User groups

Overview

User groups allow you to set permissions for multiple users at once. This way you can assign users rights without having to manually modify rights individually.You can assign more privileges to an individual user than the user group's rights allow (for example, access to multiple sections or more editing privileges). However, it is not possible to assign narrower rights to a user than those of the user's group privileges.

You will find the user groups under the Admin -module
