Groups
Groups contain user accounts or resources as members with shared settings and defaults.
Criteria can be, for example, responsibilities, common rights or collaboration types. For example, each department is a group, all colleagues with the right to merge address duplicates are a group, or another group consists of all vehicles that are available as resources. A group can also be member of another group. As CAS genesisWorld user you and other users might be assigned to one or several groups.
The following settings are defined by the administrator:
- Groups are created according to different criteria.
- The external access rights between groups are defined.
- Within a group, the external access rights of each member to another member are defined.
The defined external access rights of individual users might be expanded through group membership. The settings defined by the administrator have the following impact for you as a user:
- Users with full rights in a group can see each other's user names displayed when selecting participants.
- If participants can see their names, they have at least reading-rights to the data records of the other group members - except for private and confidential data records.
- If a member of a group has fewer rights than the other members, they will not be able to select users as group participants or view the other group members' data.
Functions
- You can deactivate the access rights depending on group membership if the administrator has allowed you to do so.
- If you enter a group as participant, you define the ownership for multiple colleagues at once.
