Manage User Groups
Users that are added to the management console have to be placed in a group in order to manage an organization. By default, there are two groups shipped with the console, Administrators and Users. The 'Administrative' user group provides unlimited access to the organization with administrative capabilities whereas the 'Users' group provides mainly read-only privileges to organization data. In addition, you can also create groups with different privilege levels and add user into them as per the organization's requirement.
To manage users groups, click 'User Administration' on the left and then 'User Groups' below it:
