Defining Groups

A group is a predefined set of privileges. By creating a group, you can simplify the job of setting up new user accounts, especially for applications with many privileges.

Default Groups:
Developers - This group has "Developer," "Debug" and "Administrator" privilege.
Administrators - This group has "Administrator" and "View Event Log" privilege.

Users with Administrator or Developer privilege can create or modify group definitions using the user account editor.

In general, you'll want to define groups before you add users, because you can then assign users to the appropriate groups. To deal with groups, click on the Groups tab.

Add: Click the Add button to create a new group.

Edit: Select an existing group then press the edit button to edit it.
