| Grouping
allows the administrator to separate users that work on
different tasks or projects. When users are grouped together,
their view and access to information can be targeted and/or
restricted. This also allows an organization to divide
a system amongst a number of clients where information
is client specific.
A Fast IssueTrack user is only allowed to exist in one
group at any one time. Therefore, groups revolve around
a permanent Master List, which acts as
a list for all the users that do not currently belong
to a group. By default, each user is placed in the Master
List and remains there until they are selected
in another group. Users within the Master List
(like admin users), have an unrestricted view
of the issue database.
When a user is selected in a group, the user is removed
from it's previous group and placed in the new one. To
remove a user from all groups, simply add the user back
to the Master List.
To add a group, enter a group name, select the project(s)
that you would like users within this group to have access
to, and then select the users for the group. Selecting
multiple entries on a list is browser dependent, but on
a Windows machine using Internet Explorer or Netscape,
holding the control key while selecting an entry will
select/deselect a particular item. If other groups are
already configured, they will appear in the Groups
Visible list. If you would like users within
this group to see users in another group, select these
other groups in the Groups Visible list.
Select users to import into this group in the last list.
Users can also be assigned to groups by administrators
using the User Administration menu, as well as by editing
a group and importing additional users into that group.
The Hide Users From Others in Group
check box helps limit the users who can be assigned issues
in the system. When this is checked, users are only able
to assign issues to people they can see (such as managers
in the Master List).
Notes:
- The delete link and the hide users option will do
nothing for the Master List.
- You must make sure to select at least one project
for each group.
