User/Group Management in SPAdmin is used to view and edit users and groups. This topic contains links to other instructions about users and groups.
Accessing User/Group Management
- Click the SPAdmin Program Tab.
- Click the Configuration button.
- Select Groups from the Security folder.
Groups
Groups are associations of users that share the same permissions. The permissions assigned to a group will apply to every user that is a member.
Note: A user may belong to more than one group. However, if one group's permissions grant members the right to a feature but another group to which the user belongs denies the same right, the user will not have access to the feature.
Search Functionality in Groups
The Search functionality enables Full-text instant search and the results pane shows results as the user types. Full-text instant search provides the following:
Performs search against all the group data text fields.
Performs a 'starts with' search using an 'or' condition. All special characters are ignored, common 'stop words' like prepositions are also omitted. Full-text search is not case sensitive.
Stores up to ten previous searches in the Search drop-down until the user leaves the group pane.
Results pane lists the first 200 groups.
