New Group
JAVLN Officetech manages User permissions via Groups. Once a User is assigned to a User Group, that User has access to all permissions assigned to that particular Group. A User can be allocated to multiple Groups which will enable them to additional permissions in any other Group that User is also assigned to.

- You can now highlight the Group, and tick on the Users and Permissions to be allocated to this Group. Once completed, click Create.
Note: If the User is logged in while they are being added to a new Group or in a Group that is given new permissions, they will need to refresh JAVLN Officetech for those new permissions to be available. To refresh JAVLN Officetech click on the refresh button
