User Group management

User groups allow you to group together users, so you can set up the same restrictions or access level for users with different permission profiles. For example, user groups can come in handy when it comes to the access configuration for specific metaproperty options, news articles, quick links and guidelines. Permissions set on a group level override the ones that are set on a permission profile level. This way you can grant access to users that normally would not have access or you can simply restrict users
