Components of a User Group

Each InterAction user group is composed of the following:

• A name

• An email address

  This should be the address of an email group including all of the group members.

• An active or inactive status

  An active group can be assigned access rights. An inactive group cannot be assigned access rights. However, existing access rights granted to the group remain valid.

• A list of group members

  Each member must already exist as a user.

To ensure security, user groups need to be updated regularly as employees start, change projects, and leave. Maintaining groups on an ongoing basis is very important. For recommendations, see User Group Recommendations.

As with users, you cannot delete groups - you must change the status to inactive to “remove” an unneeded group. To completely “neutralize” a group so that the members can no longer access folders, set it to inactive and remove all the members from the group.
