User Group Administration is accessed via the icon on the left hand side of the PhixFlow application console User Groups section of the Repository Browser.
PhixFlow has 6 user groups enabled by default, each with a set of Roles defined. Any user who is part of the Administrator group has permissions to update these default roles, although it is recommended that these roles be left alone. If a different set of permissions is required other than what is available in the existing User Groups, that new Group (and its Privileges) should be defined separately, and given it's own Privileges and access to PhixFlow components.
