A group contains rules on CoreMedia resources. In order to create a new group, proceed as follows:

  2. In the list view of the User Manager select "Groups" from the Type dropdown field (1).

    Create new group

Click [Confirm] to start the creation. The detail view of the group opens up.

    If you made errors during the creation of the group, then you can edit the name (1) and add or remove the administration rights (2). You can also see the ID of the group (3)

  5. A group can be a member of another group, where a subgroup inherits the rules of its parent group (see Section 2.5, “Permissions and Rights” for details). In addition, a group can have assigned users.

    In order to add groups and users, proceed as follows:

    1. Click in the link list Group Membership (5) and select groups from the dropdown list from which the new group should be a subgroup.

    2. Click in the link list Subgroups (6) and select groups from the dropdown list which should be subgroups of the new group.

    3. Click in the link list Users (4) and select users from the dropdown list which should be members of the new group.

  6. Open the Rules tab and add new rules. See Section 3.5.5, “Adding, Deleting and Editing Rules” for adding rules.

  7. If you want, you can check the effective rules of the group by opening the Effective Rules tab (see Section 2.5, “Permissions and Rights” for details on rules). You will see all the rights of the group on folders and content types due to the defined rules and the membership in other groups.
