User Groups

Groups are used to assign access privileges to a collection of users without the need to assign them to each user on an individual basis. This also makes it efficient to manage access changes to the entire group/s without the need to know what users belong to which group.

Adding and Managing a Group

If creating a new group from the Add a New User window skip to Edit New Group

On the Administration drop-down menu in TapeTrack TapeMaster select Group/User Administration.

Select the Groups tab and right-click in the main window and select Add Group.

Edit New Group

Identity

In the Identity tab enter a unique Group-ID (max 10 alphanumeric characters) and a group description.

The Group-ID must:

Be alphanumeric characters only
Have no spaces or special characters
Be 10 characters or less

Roles

Set positional role description required (optional) for hierarchy of users within the group. Roles rank from highest (0) to lowest (7)

Roles do not alter permissions of a User in the TapeMaster product, however, roles can be used in TapeTrack Lite to view Users and modify their information. Users of a lower Role-ID Number (0, 1 or 2) can view and modify Passwords for Users of a higher Role-ID Number using the User Management Task in TapeTrack Lite.

Access
