Adding a New User Group and Selecting Permissions

Although e-Link allows users to look at Routing & Planning data, they do not have permission to Routing & Planning itself. With some e-Link permissions, you can change student data but you cannot perform any of the routing or planning duties of Routing & Planning.

To add a new User Group and select general permissions:

Path:

Administration > User Groups

1.	Follow the above path to display the Administration - User Groups screen.

2.	In the Administration - User Groups screen, click the Add New User Group link to display the Add New User Group screen.

3.	Type the name of the group in the Group Name field.

4.	Click on the Student File drop-down button to display a list of student files and select the appropriate student file.

5.	Type a description of the group or the group’s permissions in the Description field.

6.	Click Force Password Change on Initial Login to allow the user with Administrator permissions to force a password change for any new user created for this group the first time they log in.

Note:

Select the user permissions very carefully, keeping in mind that it is easier to grant additional permissions later.

The Permissions tab is selected by default.

7.	Click No Restrictions when you want to give a user unlimited access to user and administrative functions.

8.	Click Limited Rights when you want to restrict a users access to user and administrative functions. To select a permission, click the check box beside it to display a check mark. Check as many as are appropriate for the group you are adding.

9.	When your selections are complete, click the Add User Group button to create the new User Group and apply the selected permissions.
