Mumboe Upgrades: User Groups

Add a Comment...

Our latest upgrade introduces User Groups.  If you have a large number of users, this should make management much easier.

The User Groups feature allows an account administrator to manage permissions at a group level rather than for each individual.  To manage your groups go to the Groups page (you will find the link under Settings on the Admin page).

All accounts have a group called All Users which cannot be deleted and all users automatically belong to this group.   Here you can create / rename / delete groups in the left pane.  The right pane displays which users are members of the selected group.

On the Folders management screen you can now manage the permissions for your User Groups.  The groups are listed at the top of the right pane and are differentiated from the normal users by a multi-person icon.  By default the All Users group will have all permissions in new accounts (not true for existing accounts), but you can easily disable the permissions for this group and use your own groups to manage the permissions.

And if you decide groups are not for you…you can still manage permissions individually.
