| Access Levels and User Groups | |
|---|
This module defines user groups with specific access rights. Users are assigned to groups through the Users section. The Escendency system comes supplied with three default user groups: Administrators, Managers, and Users, but these can be deleted, edited and added to. Only the Administrator group has a preconfigured access level (with System Administrator rights).
View a list of user groups, and manage individual groups (figure 1).

Records are split up into pages. Click a page number link to view another page of records.
The number of your current page is highlighted in bold red text.
If there are a lot of pages, numbers will appear in a list that you can scroll along.
To change the number of records shown at a time, select a different number from the drop-down
list at the top of the page.
To delete a record, click the "delete" link next to the record. A popup message will appear asking to confirm deletion. Press "OK", and the record's status will change to "deleted".
Checking the "Show Deleted, Suspended, Pending" checkbox will cause the list of records to include these records along with those currently open. Leaving the checkbox blank will cause the list only to show records currently open.
Click "Add" to add a new user group, or click an existing user group to view/edit it (figure 2).
