User Groups allow you to limit access to Users via Permissions. As an SI 2017 Administrator, you can control what access your Users have to features of SI 2017. In a multi-user environment, it is often necessary to limit access to certain features within SI 2017. For example, you may not want some users to view pricing in the Catalog, or you might not want to grant QuickBooks transfer access to some users.
The Manage User Groups form allows you to create User Groups and set permissions for each group.There are two default User Groups: Administrator and Standard User. The Administrator User Group has full access and is not editable.
You can create/edit/delete User Groups:
You have Select All, Deselect All, Expand All, and Collapse All buttons for the permissions.
Permissions for User Groups can grant/deny access to features/functions in SI 2017.
