User Groups
User groups serve to grant specific permissions within the web interface to one or more users. This is done by assigning a user group in the user settings.
Overview
The overview page shows all available user groups in a structured table with search and management functions.
Search Function
Using the search field, you can specifically search for certain user groups. The search filters the results in real-time based on the entered search term.
User Groups Table
The table shows all available user groups with the following information:
- Name: The name of the user group
- Actions: Available actions for each group (View, Edit, Delete)
Default available user groups:
- Manager: Full access with comprehensive permissions
- Viewer: Limited permissions for viewing functions
To prevent users from accessing information or functions that lie outside their responsibility, the principle of minimal permissions is always recommended.
