Create and Delete Groups

Contents

    Groups are logical associations of users and can be used to define teams, roles, departments or any other group of FontAgent® Server users. After adding users to FontAgent Server, admins can create groups and assign users to them. Admins can then assign permissions to the groups once and FontAgent Server applies those permissions to all users who are members of the group.

    To manage groups and users, you must first launch the FontAgent Server Manager. You must also have been granted permissions to manage groups on the server.

    Using The Groups Panel

    To manage FontAgent Server groups, follow these steps:

    1. Click the Groups tab in the Sidebar. A list of server groups appear in the top pane of the Server Manager window.
    2. Select the group to be modified from the list. You can use the Filter Groups field at the top-right of the pane to help find the right group.
    3. The selected group’s details appear in the bottom pane of the Server Manager.

    Adding a Group

    To add a group to FontAgent Server:

    1. Click the Add button in the upper-right corner of the top pane.
    2. Enter the Group Name and an optional Description.
    3. Click Save to finish creating the group.

    Deleting a Group

    To delete a group from FontAgent Server, follow these steps:

    1. Locate the group to be deleted from the list of server groups. You can use the Filter Groups field at the top-right of the pane to help find the right group.
    2. Click the Delete button on the far right side of the group’s name.
    3. A confirmation dialog appears. Click Yes to delete the group.
