Overview
Use the user group property tab to add users to a user group. The user group inherits privileges from the roles listed in the property tab; see Roles and Privileges. The privileges provide members of a user group with access to PhixFlow features, modelling objects, display components, actions and applications. If you need to restrict user access to sub-sets of modelling objects, display components etc. you can add the objects to this property tab.
Tip |
---|
When you add modelling objects or applications to the user group, remember to check their Access Permissions. If All Users Can View Data is unticked, then you must provide access to the object by: - Assigning user groups to the object.
- Adding the user(s) to one of those user groups.
