Create groups

Aim

To give groups of users identical rights, for instance, permission to view your session live or to review it after it has been recorded. As a Trainer you can, for instance, create groups of students (Trainees).

Prerequisites

Your user role allows creating groups (Technician, Administrator, Trainer).

Procedure

1. Click the menu button and choose Groups.
2. Click Add group and enter a name for the group of users.
3. Select whether the group is private or not.
4. Select the Department where your group will belong. If you do not select a department, you will not be able to add members to the group!
5. From the list of users within that Department, select the ones you want to add to the group, using the checkboxes. Please note that as an Administrator and Trainer you will only see the users of your own department. If you want, for instance, Trainer B to see your groups, make the groups public (leave the Private group checkbox unselected) and make Trainer B a group member. Trainer B can then invite your groups to view his/her sessions.
6. Select the Department where your group will belong. If you do not select a department, you will not be able to add members to the group!
7. From the list of users within the chosen Department, select the ones you want to add to the group, using the checkboxes. Please note that as an Administrator and Trainer you will only see the users of your own department.

NOTE To give other users rights, for instance, to view your session live or to review it afterwards, you have to invite them, please see Invite participants.
