Add Users to a Group

In the VIDIZMO portal, there are two types of management groups: Security Groups and Distribution Groups. Adding a user to a group means managing the user's access rights in a portal because each group type has predefined feature permissions.

The features available to the group are a union of the features granted through their associated CALs, meaning that users in a group will automatically gain access to all features outlined in the corresponding CALs along with group permissions.

For more information on user management, refer to Understanding Groups Mangement.

You can easily manage users by adding them to your Portal and assigning them specific permissions. These permissions control the users' access to the content within your Portal. Additionally, you can assign permissions at the group level, simplifying the management of a more significant number of users.

By default, every new user added to the VIDIZMO portal is automatically included in the "All Users" group. However, you can only add users to a group that are already part of the Portal. To add new users to your Portal, see Add Users to the Portal to learn how to add new users.

Prerequisites:​

  • To add a user to a group, the individual must either be a member of the Group Manager group or have Group Management permissions enabled.
