Security Glossary 1-5

If you are satisfied with the pre-defined User groups and their permissions, you may not need to use this security module at all (except to add new users). For more information on the permissions for pre-defined groups, see the following section, “Pre-Defined User Groups”.

Pre-Defined User Groups There are six pre-defined User groups with default permissions. You cannot remove any of the pre-defined groups or change the irrevocable permissions. However, you can change the default permissions for any pre-defined User group.

The only users without default permissions (they only have irrevocable permissions) are server supervisors, account supervisors and Assistants.

Assistants can perform the same actions on fax jobs as the person they assist. They are not included in security because their permissions are completely dependent on the person they assist.

Pre-defined User groups provide the structure for the security module. This section discusses the pre-defined User groups and explains their default and irrevocable permissions.

If you want to add and remove members for the pre-defined User groups, you can do so using the User Properties dialog.

In addition to the pre-defined groups and their permissions, you can add individual members to sub-groups and set up permissions for the sub-groups to meet your company specific requirements. For more information on sub-groups, see Chapter View/Edit Server Setup—Display and change the Server Setup dialog and all its options. later in this guide.
