Modifying the Default User Groups
Intro to Groups
Ortelius has three default Groups - Administrators, Everyone and Users. Access control to Objects are based on these three high level Groups. Ortelius allows you to create as many Users as required but only the “Users” “Everyone” and “Administrator” Groups are available. You can modify these Groups as needed to create access controls around Objects.
Using the Group List Viewing
You will find Groups under the Setup menu. Selecting Groups will take you to a list of displaying the Administration Group and User Group.
From the Groups List View, double click on the Group which you would like to view to see all Details.
Using the Group Dashboard for Viewing and Editing
The Group Dashboard view displays all information related to a specific Group.
