Changing the Default Group

The group Default Group comes installed with Webdocs. At installation, the Default Group is also the group with the default star next to it.

The default group is the group to which Webdocs assigns all users created by:

TIP:

Unless you need to, do not change the default group. If you do change the default group, do not change it often.

By being consistent with the default group, you can better control Webdocs security by allowing minimal permissions for it. If default group has minimal permissions, you know that when you create a user that user will have the minimal permissions until you put the user in another group or allow permissions to the user directly.

When you change the default group, all user accounts in Webdocs automatically become members of the default group.

To change the default group:

  1. On the side menu of the Settings tab, click Groups .

    The Groups page displays.

  2. Next to the row of the group that you want to be the default group, click Make This Group The Default .

    The Default icon displays next to the Accounting group.

    Now all current users and all newly created users automatically become part of the Accounting group.
