Editing groups

This section explains

• creating and editing new groups

• hidden groups

• group sharing

• LDAP settings

Creating a new group

At Groups, on the left, click + New to create a new group.

Naming a new group is mandatory. Also, to save and have it appear in the group menu on the left, you have to add at least one user to the new group:

• On the Members tab, select the users (under Users) you would like to include in your new group

💡 You can filter by groups with the drop-down menu or search users in the mini search bar.

• The Add selected button at the bottom becomes active

• Click Add selected, and the selected users will be transferred under Current Members.

You can remove users from a group anytime by selecting them and clicking Remove selected.

You can select a parent group from the drop-down menu in the header. Each group can be nested into any other group without restrictions.

If you close the editing window and look at the Groups tab, you may see drop-down arrows in front of some groups: a group is a parent group that includes subgroups.

Creating SP Groups in SPA

SP groups can be created in the Standardized Patient Administration (SPA Module) as well:

These SP groups - including all confirmed SPs for a Session - will be listed and can be managed in the User Manager under Groups, and can be used for setting up Events (see Managing Events ) or Scheduling (Advanced Scheduling).

Hidden groups (Group visibility)

If you do not need certain groups, you can remove them from the group menu without deleting them. 
Selecting the Hidden group checkbox, the group will not appear in the group menu on the left of Groups & Users. 
You can restore a group at any time when you need to.

By ticking the Show on login page checkbox, the user group will be displayed on the Legacy login page.

Sharing

Each group's accessibility can be set in Share.

You can choose between sharing the group with particular users to let them

• View only: Add users or groups under CAN READ ONLY. Any user with access to the User Manager can view the group but can't edit it.

• View and edit: Add users or groups under CAN READ AND WRITE. Any user with access to the User Manager can edit the group.

LDAP settings

If LDAP synchronization is configured, you can easily import users from your directory server(s) into a user group in LearningSpace Enterprise.
