Manage Groups

A Group is a collection of users maintained by the site. Groups are one of the main permissions mechanisms in Contensive.

Adding/Editing Groups

To add a new group to your database, login as an Administrator and click on ADMIN. On the left side of your screen you will click on MANAGE USERS and then GROUPS. Once you click on GROUPS, a list of all available groups will be listed on the right side of your screen. To edit a GROUP, click the paper/pencil icon to open the group record. Or, click the ADD button to open a new GROUP RECORD.

DETAILS TAB
The Name of the Group, once created, should not be changed. Functionality on your site may depend on information within that group. If the name is changed, functionality may fail. The Caption of the Group has no restrictions. The caption is what displays on both the public site and within the Admin site. The Caption can be changed at any time.

Allow Group Email will enable this group to receive email using the Group Email tool.

Allow Public Join will display the Group's Caption on public facing functionality allowing users to join Groups.

Content Authoring is the mechanism to associate Content Managers with Content.
