Manage Groups

Groups can be very useful when you have several users with similar sharing permissions accessing a Library .  Placing users in groups simplifies access management, since you can apply across-the-board changes easily.

For instance, if you work for an HIT vendor or consulting firm – and need to provide guest access to hospital or provider users, you might want to manage all hospital users as a single group.  This will be easier to manage than setting permissions individually, and you’ll ensure that everyone in the group has the same privileges.

Manage these group and access sharing permissions from the Manage Library section.

Note:  To create groups, you need Administrator rights. Refer to Manage Sharing to learn how to assign Administrator rights to a user.
