Modifying the Default User Groups

Modifying the default User and Administrator Groups

Intro to Groups

DeployHub Team has three default Groups - Administrators, Everyone and Users. Access control to Objects are based on these three high level Groups. DeployHub Team allows you to create as many Users as required but only the “Users” “Everyone” and “Administrator” Groups are available. You can modify these Groups as needed to create access controls around Objects. If you need to create custom Groups, you will need to upgrade to DeployHub Pro. See Creating Pro User Groups for details on Pro User Groups.

Using the Group List Viewing

You will find Groups under the Setup menu. Selecting Groups will take you to a list of displaying the Administration Group and User Group.

From the Groups List View, double click on the Group which you would like to view to see all Details.

Using the Group Dashboard for Viewing and Editing

The Group Dashboard view displays all information related to a specific Group.

A new row will be added to the table with a drop down list allowing you to select the User to add to the Group. Select “Save” to commit the row to the table. You can delete a User from the Group using the Delete option.
