+====== User Groups======
-{{page> master:create_group}}
+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 a Group =====
+{{:master:tapemaster_user.png}}
+Select the ''Groups'' tab and right-click in the main window and select ''Add Group''.
+{{:master:tapemaster_add_group.png}}
+===== Edit New Group =====
+==== Identity ====
+In the ''Identity'' tab enter a unique Group-ID (max 10 alphanumeric characters) and a group description.
+{{:master:tapemaster_add_group_edit_identity.png}}
+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)
+<note tip>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 [[lite:function_users|User Management]] Task in [[desktop:lite|TapeTrack Lite]].</note>

+  * ''Alter'' allows any user assigned to the group to add or delete information on the defined Customer-ID.
