Creating Groups

New groups are created from the Groups page in the Mgt Console. This page explains how to create a new group in Mapworks.

📄 Note

Map Designer or a higher role is required to create groups.

To create a group:

1. In Mapworks UI, click Mgt Console in the bottom left

2. Click Groups

3. Click the orange Add New Group button on the right.

4. In the Details Tab, enter a name and description for the group

📄 Note

Strictly speaking, only the group name needs to be configured; default values are adequate for the others.

5. In the Members Tab, use the search bar to add any number of members

6. Optionally, check the Advanced box to restrict members' access to the group to specific applications

7. In the Managers Tab, add managers using the search bar and set their permission level via the radio buttons

Managers can have one of two permission levels:

• Add Members – Allow Managers to add members only
• Manage Members – Allow Managers to add, view, and delete members

📄 Note

The same permissions will be assigned to all new Managers who are added here. To edit individual permissions, see the Manager Tab after you have created your Group.

8. In the Basic Permissions Tab, select a sharing rule via the radio buttons and set its default access level from the drop-down list.

📄 Note

For more specific configuration, the Additional Permissions Tab should be used.

9. Done — the group has successfully been created
