Adding and editing user groups

Use the Add User Group or Edit User Group dialog to create or edit a user group. When creating or editing a user group, you can:

• Name the group.
• Choose the default language which will be displayed in the web interface for members of the group.
• Select group rights.

You must have the Manage User right to add or edit a user group.

To add or edit a user group:

1. Navigate to the Add User Group dialog.
   1. Navigate to the Manage Users dialog (Admin > Manage Users). The Manage Users dialog appears.
   2. In the User Group area, click New or select a group and click Edit. The Add User Group or Edit User Group dialog appears.
2. In the User group box, type the name of the user group. This name will appear on the user group list when the group is created.

   Note: If the WhatsUp Gold user group has been mapped to an Active Directory group, the AD group will be displayed in the AD groups list. Any user that authenticates from one of the AD groups mapped to the WhatsUp Gold user group will appear as a user in the Members box.

   Note: All users that are members of the group will be displayed in the Members box.

4. In the User group rights area, select the User group rights you want to assign to the members of this group. The user group rights you select will be inherited by all user accounts that are assigned to this group.
