Working with groups

Creating new groups

You can create groups to manage how you assign channels to your users. By assigning users to a group, you automatically grant them access to all the channels assigned to the group account.

1. Log in to Mobile Web Studio.

2. Select M-Business from the left pane. The M-Business Manager menu displays.

3. Select Group Applications | Groups, and click New. The New Group window displays.

4. Create a new group:

   • Name – enter a group name.

   • Description – enter a description.

   • Type – select the group type from the drop-down list.

     • Managed – membership is not optional, so users can neither add nor remove themselves from managed groups. Administrators and group administrators can add users to or remove users from managed groups.

     • Optional – membership is available to all users. Users can add or remove themselves, as well as administrators and group administrators.

     • Required – membership in required groups is not optional. Users become members of a required group automatically. If you create a required group before you add users, all users are automatically added to the group as they are added to the ASA database. If you create a required group after you add users, you have the option of having M-Business Server populate the group with all existing users.

     See the M-Business Anywhere Server Administrator Guide for detailed information about these options.

   Click OK.

5. In the confirmation pop-up window, click OK. The new group displays in the detail pane.

Adding members to a group

1. From the M-Business Manager menu, select Group Applications | Groups, right-click the group, and select Members. The Group Members window displays.

2. From Available Users, select Add All to add all available users to the group, or select one or more users.

   Click OK.

3. In the confirmation pop-up window, click OK.
