Groups Management

Select a module

From the main ECP users screen, you can switch to the groups management by using the drop down list labelled 'Manage groups of the module' at the top right of the screen. This list contains all the installed NO-SOD modules into your system. Select the module for which you would like to manage the groups and the application will automatically switch to the groups management screen for the selected module.

From the groups managenmet screen, you can switch from a module to another (in case of multiple NO-SOD installed modules)

Public and System Groups

The security is maintain from all NO-SOD modules by two kinds of groups: system groups and public groups.

System groups
System groups are automatically delivered with a module. They are specific for each module. They are used by developers and the NO-SOD Framework to control authorities.
Public groups
Public groups are generally also delivered with a module and are associated with their system groups (then public groups have the same name as system groups). Public groups created at installation time doesn't contain any user. The administrator can create new public group(s) or use existing delivered public group(s), add user(s) into those group(s) and associate public group(s) with their corresponding system group(s).
