User groups

Adding a group

To add a group, right-click the Groups button, and then select New / Group from the context menu.

Adding users to a group

Users can be added to groups in the group property screen for the given group or directly in the user information screen for the selected user.

Subgroups

Subgroups are lower in the hierarchy than the selected group. They allow inheriting settings from the parent group and modifying selected settings. A subgroup can be defined in the group property screen.

Group settings

When in the group property screen, you can modify the following attributes:

•Group name,

•Group manager – this feature is connected with the SmartTime module. Group manager has access to their own data as well as data of the entire group and individual members. This user can also edit the group productivity exceptions. If they edit productivity exceptions for such a group, they can see the global list of applications, their productivities and categories, however they cannot edit these items.
