Managing Security Groups

Security groups are used to restrict access in two different ways;

• Restricting access to a folder to a group of specified users only.
• Assigning clients specifically to a group of specified users.

The Best Practices for Security Groups and Folder Structures topic contains useful information to take into account when creating folder structures.

3. The New Security Group dialog opens. Click into the Name field and enter a name for the new group.



4. Click Edit for each of Assigned Users and Assigned Clients to set which users and clients are associated to the Security Group.
