    • When a user-configured group follows a default group, it inherits the defined access permissions of the default group. The group also automatically inherits the access permissions for any new applications defined for the default group.

    • Groups that follow default groups are nested underneath those groups in the Group Name field. Stand alone groups are added to the bottom of the group list.

    • A user-configured group cannot be followed by another user-configured group.

  4. In the Create New Group window, locate the Name field, then type a descriptive name for the group.

  5. From the bottom of the Create New Group window, select Add Item.

    • Alternatively, select Cancel to exit out of the Create New Group window without submitting changes.

  6. From the Group Name list on the left, select the newly created group.

  7. From the upper-right of the Access Manager panel, select Fold/unfold all to view all the defined access permissions. The access permissions inherited by a user-configured group from a default group are customizable.

  8. From the Access field, customize the access permissions for the group as needed for each component listed in the Menu/Application/Activity field.

  9. From the upper-right of the panel, select Save Changes.
