4.8. Dashboard: Groups
This page allows the administrator to manage groups. Groups help
to simplify users management and access to shares. They allow
administrators to change access rights to entire groups rather than
individually.
From this page, administrators can: create, modify, delete, and add
users to groups.
TECHNICAL NOTE:
Users can belong to multiple groups.
TECHNICAL NOTE:
If a discrepancy exists between the rights as-
signed to an individual and rights assigned to a group to which the
individual belongs, the more permissible rights prevail. For exam-
ple, if a user has access to a share called “Backup” and she belongs
to a group that does not have this access, she will still have access
to “Backup” (see chart at right).

name and description (optional) (
