Administrators commonly create user groups so the group’s users can take some specific action in a Site. This is done by assigning the permissions for that action to a Role, and then assigning that Role to the user group. This grants the Role’s permissions to the user group’s users.
Follow these steps to grant permissions to users in a user group:
- Create the user group.
- Assign the user group to a Site.
- Create the Site Role and define its permissions.
- Assign the Role to the user group.

-
Open the Menu (
), select the Site to work in, then open its Site Administration menu.
-
In the Site Administration menu, select Members → Site Memberships. This opens the Site Memberships screen.
