Groups - general information
 
If factline has not already fulfilled the initial steps of organizing your platform (initial pre-setting), your platform is still empty. No one can add texts or files, because permissions still haven’t been assigned. Since only groups of users can be given permissions, the first step (before the assignment of the read/write permissions) is to create these groups.

info3 - 125057.2
Authorising individual persons - In special cases permissions can also be set to single persons, apart from groups. Note that this could lead to harder maintenance afterwards.

Four groups are pre-defined on your platform:

universe: Everyone = users + guests
guests: All persons which are not logged on to the system.
users: All persons which are registered on any FCS-platform.
Platform Main Group: In this group are automatically added all users who will have registered on the appropriate platform. The name of your platform is assigned to the group by the system, for example, „my platform main group.“ This name is usually changed however by the pAdmin to a more platform-specific wording.

You can add as much groups as you like. The following steps are necessary for that:

  • Setting up groups
  • Adding users to groups
  • Editing groups
  • Hiding groups
  • Advanced Permissions
