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.

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.
