Security Group

This feature is new for adTempus version 4.

A Security Group (or role) allows you to group together users who need to be given the same permissions. Each user (represented by a Login) can be assigned to any number of Security Groups.

Groups are managed through the Server Security Settings window.

Previous versions of adTempus used Windows security groups and did not support groups managed within adTempus. When upgrading from previous versions, it will be necessary to assign users to the correct groups. See the Security Changes topic for more information.

adTempus includes two built-in groups:

• The adTempus Users group contains all adTempus users. Permissions you assign to this group will apply to all users.
• The adTempus Administrators group contains users designated as Administrators. Members of this group have full control over data and actions within adTempus.

You should create additional Security Groups based on the roles that users play, and assign permissions to Groups rather than to Logins whenever possible. See the Permission Management Guidelines for more information.
