Introduction

User Groups provide an easy mechanism to set permissions for one or more users. Each group can be configured with a role and definable set of user permissions that control what each operator can do. Typically the permissions control what the user can do within the Witness client application. The role controls what settings the user can view and edit. You can create different groups to provide a range of different permissions for your users but be aware that a user can only be a member of a single group and therefore only be part of single role.

Group Role

The user roles provide the following capabilities for changing settings:

Administrator: This role allows users to edit and change all settings within the system.

Engineer: This role allows users to view and edit most settings. This role cannot add new items or delete existing items.

User: This role does not allow users to view or edit settings.

SSO Group Name

This is the Single Sign-On Group Name in the Directory. View SSO Settings information here: System Settings | SSO Settings (Single Sign On).

Permissions

The permissions options refine what a user can do in addition to the privileges set by the User Role. The Engineer and User roles have default permissions but these can be changed for each group to provide a flexible matrix of control for different users.

Once the permissions are set they will apply to all users who have been added to the group. The members allocated to the selected group can be seen on the group configuration panel.
