Creating Permission Groups

You can create a permission Group and add any users from the Site to a Group. You can then grant permission to folders by Groups rather than granting permissions to each individual user. Refer to Deleting Groups for information about deleting a Group.

To create a permission Group

1. In the administration interface, connect to EFT and click the Server tab.

2. Do one of the following:

   • Press CTRL+G.

   • Right-click in the left pane, and then click New Permission Group.

   • On the main menu, click Configuration, and then click New Permissions Group.

   • On the Server tab, click the Groups node, then in the right pane, click New.

   The Create New Group dialog box appears.

   

3. In the Site box, click the list to specify the Site for which you want to create the new Group (if you didn't click the Groups node in a Site tree).

4. Type a name for the Group in the Group Name box. For example, type R&D. The Group Name can contain up to 255 characters.

5. Click OK. The new group appears under the specified Site in the Groups node.

Refer to Adding or Removing Users to or from a Group and The Virtual File System for information about users' permissions in relation to their assigned Group(s).
