Managing Groups


The general purpose of using groups

Groups can be used to control the specific rights that users within your company have within the portal. Example: A group can be created that gives a user the ability to only upload ads, but does not have the ability to approve those ads.

There are two default SYSTEM groups which can not be edited. Newly created users are typically assigned to one of these groups.

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR Publisher Group: This is an admin level group. Has all the rights as the SYSTEM Publisher Group, as well as, the ability to manage the company profile, users, and groups.

SYSTEM Publisher Group: This is a basic publisher user group. Can create and manage publications and issues, manage ads, and make reservations for customers. Can only access their own user profile. Does not have the ability to create/remove users and groups. Cannot edit company profile.

Note: If a user is not assigned to any group, they will not be able to do anything once they have logged into the site. Please verify group settings if a user appears to have very restricted access within the site.
