Groups Module - Users

Overview

The Groups Module is responsible for managing user groups within the system.

Groups simplify permission management by allowing administrators to assign permissions to multiple users simultaneously. Instead of configuring permissions individually for each user, administrators can assign users to groups and manage permissions at the group level.

The Users page of the Groups Module allows administrators to manage user permissions for the Groups module.

By default, the page displays only users who already have at least one permission assigned for the Groups module. Users are displayed in a paginated list.

When Edit Mode is enabled, all users in the system are displayed, regardless of whether they currently have any permissions for the Groups module. Administrators can then assign, update, or remove Groups module permissions.

Prerequisites

Before managing Groups module user permissions, ensure that:

• You have administrator privileges.
• Users have already been created.

Viewing Users

When the page is opened:

• Users are displayed in a paginated table.
• Only users with at least one permission in the Groups module are shown.
• Each row displays the user's current Groups module permissions.

Edit Mode

Administrators can enable Edit Mode to modify user permissions.

When Edit Mode is enabled:

• All users in the system are displayed.
• Groups module permissions become editable.
• Permission changes are stored locally until they are saved.
• No changes are applied immediately.

Permission Assignment

Permissions can be assigned or removed directly from the user's row.

Selecting or deselecting a permission immediately updates the local state.

Changes remain pending until the administrator clicks Save.

Access Requirements

To access this page, the user must have the ACL permission for the Groups module.

The ACL permission allows users to manage authorization settings for the Groups module. Users without this permission cannot access this page unless they have administrator privileges.

Users without the required permission cannot view this page and will receive the following authorization error:

Access Denied

You don't have access to this resource.

Available Permissions

The following permissions are available within the Groups module.

Saving Changes

After permission changes have been made:

1. Review the pending changes.
2. Click Save.
3. Only modified permissions are sent to the server.
4. Once the request succeeds, the new permissions become effective.

Reset Changes

Clicking Reset discards all unsaved modifications.

The permission list is restored to its last saved state.

No requests are sent to the server when Reset is used.

Validation

The system validates all permission changes before saving.

Permission updates are persisted only after a successful save operation.

Permission Dependencies

Having the ACL permission in the Groups module alone is not sufficient to manage user permissions.

To manage users within the Groups module, the administrator must also have at least the GET permission in the Users Module.

Without the Users Module GET permission:

• Users cannot be retrieved.
• Group user permissions cannot be managed.
• The operation results in an authorization error.

This dependency exists because group user management requires access to user information provided by the Users module.

Notes

• Permission changes are stored locally until Save is clicked.
• Reset discards all unsaved changes.
• Only modified permissions are submitted to the server.
• The user list is displayed using pagination for better performance.
