Create/edit a group

UserDB_009

 

For a user to gain certain permissions he has to be member of a group that is granted those permissions. Any amount of groups can be created granted different sets of permissions. The Group name can only be edited when creating a new group.

 

The following permissions are available:

 

Users receive all non-identifiable incomings (Client/Server only)

Members of this group see all incoming files which are not ENGDAT formatted or whose forwarding address is not an user name. If deactivated group members only see those incoming files, for which the ENGDAT forwarding address matches their user name.

 

Users get all status messages

When deactivated members of this group only see status messages concerning jobs created by the respective user. If activated members see all status messages which are shown on the status page of !MC5.

 

Users are allowed to move / delete file

Without this permission a user has read only access to received files. When activated Client/Server users can move files from the server to the client and HTTP Client users can delete files on the server. Deleted or moved files are no longer available to other users.

 

Users are restricted to a limited partner selection

When activated members of this group only see those partners, for which this group is specified in the special functions of the partner (see Special functions / Client/Server groups). By this you can limit the partners a user can send files to restrict access to received files only from certain partners. As soon as a user is member of one group using this option the limitations are applied. All partners which are at least assigned to one group the user is member of will be accessible to the user.

 

Changed group permissions are applied to all members of that group.
