Create New User Group

Select this option to create a new user group.

User groups provide a convenient means of managing user roles. Instead of assigning roles to individual users, you can create a small number of groups to represent different types of users, and then assign appropriate roles to these groups. All you need to do then is assign users to the appropriate groups. A user inherits all the roles assigned to all the groups to which he/she belongs, and may also have additional, directly assigned roles.

Selecting this option displays the New user group form. Enter a name for the new group and click Save. The User Group form is then displayed (see User Groups), which you can use to assign roles to the group.
