From the admin menu, you can create user groups.
This allows you to easily send your alerts and newsletters to a set of recipients (mailing list).
Another use is to limit the access rights and the visibility of certain themes/collections/alerts/etc. to a group of users with privileged rights.
Let’s first create a user group
Click on “User groups”, then on “create group” (top left), give it a name and click on create.
You then return to the main menu (the list of existing groups).
Let’s add users to the group
Two methods exist.
1. You can edit a user profile from the “users” menu and indicate which group it belongs to the “add to groups” field:
2. Go to the “groups” menu, and open one by clicking on it (or on “manage rights” on the right)
Then click on the “users” tab at the top right.
You will then see the list of users on the right panel.
Click on the “add to group” and it will switch to the left pane
Define group access rights
What are the access rights? You can limit the visibility of certain themes, alerts, newsletters or collections to one or more groups.
These modules will be hidden to people who are not members of at least one group with these privileges.
To do this, simply edit the parameters of the object whose access rights you want to limit.
Let’s take the example of a theme
Let’s edit the theme of your choice
At the bottom of the settings, you will see the option “Limit access to these groups”.
The “client” option (by default) makes this theme (for example) accessible to all users of the platform.
Go to “groups” and select one or more groups.
Only members of selected groups will have vision and access to this theme.
It’s the same process for all the modules (alerts, newsletters, concepts, sources and collections):
Edit > “Limit access to these groups” > groups > select one or more groups > save changes.
