Groups - Duplicate

Groups 

A Group is a set of User accounts that have common permissions to files (Access Group) or have common privileges in the application (Role Group). 

Note: The number of groups you have access to is limited by your plan type. If you have questions, please contact billing@sharetru.com for more information. 

Role Groups 

 

Roles Groups are predefined by the following categories of membership types: 

  • Site Administrators – Members have full access to all site content and functions. 
  • User Administrators – Members have full access to all user management functions. 
  • File Administrators – Members have full access to all file content and file functions 
  • New User Authorizer – Members have responsibility to authorize all new users. Requires Site Administrator or User Administrator group membership. 
  • API Users – Members have access to the API. 

The Role Groups are administrator roles and cannot be modified by any user:

To create a duplicate of an existing Access Group with the same members and folder permissions, select the desired group from the list, check the box next to it, and click the Clone button:



Enter a unique name for the new group, then choose whether to enable or disable the “Clone the access” and “Clone the members” options. Once your selections are made, click “Save” to create the cloned group:

When cloning an Access Group, you can choose to duplicate both the group’s members and folder access permissions, or just one of these elements: 

  • If both "Clone the access" and "Clone the members" options are enabled, the new group will have the same members and folder permissions as the original group. 
  • If only "Clone the access" is enabled, the cloned group will retain the same folder permissions, but you’ll need to add members manually under the Members tab. 
  • If only "Clone the members" is enabled, the group’s members will be duplicated, but you’ll need to add folder permissions under the Access tab. 
  • If neither option is enabled, an error message will appear when you attempt to save the cloned group. 

Note: The Group Manager from the original group will be added as a regular member in the cloned group. You will need to assign a new Group Manager (this can be the same member if desired). 

Adding a new Group Manager 

A member can be assigned as group manager via the “Add Manager” button using the checkbox: 


or by using the “Actions” menu: 


And selecting the “Add Manager” menu item:


The “Group Manager Rights” dialog box will be displayed. 

A Group Manager differs from those with full site-wide user or folder administration rights. When assigned, the Group Manager can log in and access only the group’s users and files as permitted within the group’s settings. 

  • User Rights: Grant the Group Manager access to the group’s Users tab, allowing them to adjust individual user settings within the group. 
  • File Rights: Grant the Group Manager access to the Files tab, where they can manage files and folders that the Access Group is permitted to access. 



    You must enable at least one option for the Group Manager, either User Rights, File Rights, or both.
