Creating groups

To create a custom group with limited access to the Exivity Glass user interface, follow this procedure:

1. Go to 'User management' under the administration dropdown located at the top right of the screen and select the 'Groups' tab

2. Click "create group" and provide a meaningful Name for this Group

3. Select one or multiple permissions from the custom list of 'Role Names' below

4. When you're done with your selection, click the 'Save' button to create your group. Now you can create Users and associate them to this group.
