Channels > Add or Configure Channel Group
Channel groups allow easy permission-granting for several channels at once. Permissions
can be set to determine which users can access channels within a channel group.
From the View Channels page, you can add a new channel group or configure an existing
channel group:
• To create a new channel: Click the “Add Channel Group” option.
• To configure an existing channel: Click “the View Channel Groups” option and then
click for a group.
The Add and Configure Channel Group pages are similar in content.
channel Group and Description
These are all useful ways for you to identify the channel and its origins. A consistent
naming and description policy is particularly useful in large installations.
Channel Group Membership
Allows you to determine which channels should be members of the group. By making
a channel part of the group, each channel automatically inherits the key settings of the
group.
To add a channel to the group
: Highlight one or more (use the CTRL key if selecting
more than one) channel names in the left list and then click to add the name(s) to the
right list.
Note: You can also include or exclude individual channels by double clicking on them.
To add all channels to the group
: Click to move all channel names from the left
to the right list.
To remove a channel from the group
: Highlight one or more (use the CTRL key if
selecting more than one) channel names in the right list and then click
to move the
name(s) back to the left list.
To remove all channels from the group
: Click to move all channel names from
the right to the left list.
Permissions
This section allows you to determine which users and user groups should be given
access to channels within this group. Individual users and user groups are handled within
separate sub-sections, but both use the same method for inclusion and exclusion.
To include one or more users (or groups)
: Highlight one or more (use the CTRL
key if selecting more than one) user/group names in the left list and then click
to add
them to the right list.
To include all users (or groups)
: Click to move all user/group names from the left
to the right list.
To remove one or more users (or groups)
: Highlight one or more (use the CTRL
key if selecting more than one) user/group names in the right list and then click
to
move them back to the left list.
To remove all users (or groups)
: Click to move all user/group names from the
right to the left list.
