Adding & updating groups and users

Adding & updating groups and users

Site managers can add new groups or users to give them a role (see below), and update existing ones. Cisco recommends working with groups where possible and then users can be added automatically: if you have not already done so, read the topic Understanding groups & users before continuing:

To add a new group or user, go to Management settings > Groups and users and click Add Groups or Users. Then complete the fields using the table below, if necessary, and the naming format displayed in the web interface, then click Add Groups or Users.

To edit a group or user, go to Management settings > Groups and users and click Edit for the appropriate entry in the Groups & users list. You are taken to the Edit group or user page. Change the fields using the table below, if necessary.
