Add the members that should belong to the group and then click the Add button. Multiple names can be selected using the CTRL key.
If a user is accidentally added that should not be a member of the group, select the name in the right column and click the Remove button.

When all the members have been added to the group, click on the Save button.

Clicking on the link that shows the number of users in the group will take you to the Search/Manage screen, with only the members of that group displayed.

Edit Permissions for Users in Group

General

Select the General link to edit the general permissions of a group.

Permissions are assigned at the user level. This is a limited use tool will allow permissions to be changed for multiple users within a group. Make sure the names of the users that should not change permissions are in the left hand column and those that should change permissions are in the right hand column. Select the radio buttons for the permissions to be granted. Click the Save button.

WebOffice4Schools

Select the WebOffice4Schools link to edit the WebOffice4Schools of a group.

With the 4Schools Applications, all permissions are assigned at the user level, not the group level. This tool was created to make it easier to change the permissions for many users at the same time. Any changes that you make to the selected users will over-ride their current permissions. If you want, you can also open an individual users record to change his / her permissions.

In WebOffice4Schools, permissions to sub-categories granted are None, Read, or Read/Write.

Edit Group

Use this to add members to or remove members from the group. Select the members that should belong to the groups from the left hand column and click the Add button. Multiple names can be selected using the CTRL key. If a user is accidentally added that should not be a member of the group or an existing member needs to be deleted from the group select the name in the right column and click the Remove button. Click the Save button.
