Manage Your Sub-Accounts with Groups

clock November 15, 2009 15:49 by Admin

A group is a collection of sub-accounts that all have the same security rights. By adding sub-accounts to a Group, you can avoid having to grant the same permission to many different users one by one. Members of a group have the same access to the folders.

A sub-account can be a member of more than one group. The account administrator can create groups and add or remove sub-accounts from Groups. The concept of Grouping allows the administrators to easily manage the Sharing and Collaboration of the files and folders.

How to create a new Group?
From The Account Manager Select “Manage Groups”. Enter Group name and a description. Click on the right arrow to assign sub-accounts to the Group. Click on Save.

The Groups also can be edited (add or remove sub-accounts) and they can also be deleted.

To Share a Folder with a Group, simply add your group name in the Sharing Dialog.

Hope you like this new feature and make your admin tasks easier.
