Editing an existing user group

User groups are a collection of security settings to which individual users can be added. Rather than creating users and applying security settings to each one, you create a user group, apply the required settings, then add the users to that group. The user automatically inherits the group settings. For information on adding a new user group, refer to Adding a New User Group.

When editing an existing user group, the only thing that you are unable to edit is the user group code.

1. Go to Maintenance, then select User Groups from the menu.
   
2. The User Group Maintenance window is displayed with all existing user groups displayed in the left-hand panel. Select the required user group. Group details are displayed in the General tab. Select EDIT.
   
3. Available fields are then made editable. Amend the Title, if required.
4. Edit the number of days before the password should expire for all members of this group. This defaults to 0 (meaning the password does not expire) and can be set up to 100 days.
5. Edit the number of days before the password is due to expire, where a warning is displayed, e.g. 4. This defaults to 0 (meaning no warning is provided) and can be set up to 100 days.
   
6. Once the required edits have been made, select SAVE.
7. An Update complete message is displayed. Select OK to close the message and return to the previous window.
