To edit a user account, you must belong to a user group that in turn includes a role with privilege Administer Users, User Groups and Roles. |
You can add individual users to user groups. Members of a user group have the privileges of their roles. The privileges provide members of a user group with access to PhixFlow features, modelling objects, display components, actions and applications. For information about how users, user groups, roles and privileges work together, see:
