This is the Add icon. |
- Click the Add Permission Group button in the top-right corner of the Permission Groups list. A New Permission Group screen will open.
- Enter a name and a description for the new Permission Group in the Group Name and Group Description fields.
- Select a member for the new Permission Group by clicking on Search for a User to open a drop-down list of Orchid Fusion VMS users. Find and click on a member. As soon as you select a member, another list will appear so you can make another selection (if needed).
- Press Esc if you don’t need to make another selection.
- To remove a member, click the X to the right of the member name.
*Available members (or Orchid Fusion VMS users) are established with the Users feature found on the System menu. For more details, please refer to Users. Other potential members may come from authentication providers the system has been configured to use.
*The software provides two locations at which you may assign user permissions. With the User feature, you assign user permissions (indirectly) by selecting the Permission Group(s) to which the user belongs. With the Permission Groups feature, you assign users as members of Permission Groups with specific abilities and access. While you don’t have to select any members immediately upon adding a Permission Group, until you do, the Permission Group will essentially be inactive.
- If members of this Permission Group will include other Permission Groups, click on Search for a Group to open a drop-down list of existing Permission Groups. Find and click on a Permission Group. As soon as you select a Permission Group, another list will appear so you can make another selection (if needed).
- Press Esc if you don’t need to make another selection.
- To remove a Permission Group, click the X to the right of the Permission Group name.
*If you add a Permission Group as a member of this Permission Group, the member Permission Group will automatically inherit the permissions of the main Permission Group. (This is probably not a common selection for an Administrator group.)
- Since this Permission Group is an Administrator group, mark the Administrator Group checkbox. In addition to all-server access and video abilities, this Permission Group will be able to add and delete Orchid Core VMS servers, Users, and Permission Groups. (No other settings will be required.)
- Once all settings are complete, press the Save Group button.
