# Webster+ Setup and Configuration

Group Maintenance |

The Group Maintenance utility allows you to create and maintain the security hierarchy used in Webster+ via user groups. Within the security system, every user belongs to a group. Each group in turn has its own permissions and may inherit the permissions of sub-groups.

Example:

> A system has two Groups: Managers and Staff. Typically, managers would be allowed all of the capabilities of a staff member: thus, you would have the "Managers" group include/inherit the "Staff" group.

To run the Group Maintenance utility, select Groups from the top menu of the Webster+ system setup. The following window is displayed:

The initial window will display the Admin group, its description, and a list of all the other groups in the system. Enter the name in the Group Name field or click on the hyperlinked Group name in the list of sub-groups

This window consists of the following:

Group Name | Name of the group. #### Note: When entering a new Group Name, valid characters are: letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), - (dash), _ (underscore) or a space.
Description | Description for the group.
Group template | (Optional) If provided, this will override the system default Template settings for any user in this group. (The Group template option was added in PxPlus 2023 Update 1.)
Start Page | (Optional) If provided, this will override the system default Starting Page for any user in this group. (The Start Page option was added in PxPlus 2023 Update 1.)
Sub-Groups | Displays a list of all the groups in the system.
Select | Click the check box by any sub-group you want inherited by this group.
Save | Click this button to record the entries for the group.
Delete | Click this button to delete the group.

Example:

To add a new group, enter the new name in the Group Name field (in this example, "Testing") and press the Tab key. This will advance focus to the Description field and update the list of sub-groups to select from. Now you can Select the sub-groups you want to inherit.
