Creating a User Group

Creating a user group is useful if you want to assign overrides to multiple users at once. For example, the Sales department may need Exceed for a different purpose than the Accounting department. Consequently, you may want to create a Sales user group and an Accounting user group, and create/apply overrides according to each group’s different uses for Exceed.

You can create an unlimited number of user groups for each Hummingbird product. You can apply overrides to each user group in order to customize the Hummingbird product for each user group. For more information, see About Overrides.

A user group that you create for one Hummingbird product is not available for another Hummingbird product. For example, if you create a user group entitled Sales for Exceed users, this group will not be available for HostExplorer users. However, you can create a user group entitled Sales for HostExplorer users and manually duplicate the settings used for the Exceed Sales user group.

To create a user group:

1. In the User Manager dialog box, select the Hummingbird product for which you want to create a user group and click Properties.
2. In the Managed Product Properties dialog box, click the Groups tab.
3. In the Select Group area of the Groups page, click New.
4. In the Determine Group Name dialog box, type the desired group name and click OK.
