The idea with user groups is that you add users to them so that you can allocate permissions, such as internet access, to multiple users at once. The user groups mean you can also have sub-groups so that most of the people in a team can have the same permissions, but a select few members can have additional permissions.


It's also possible to add a user to a group from their user account. To find out more, see Change an individual user's membership of a group.


To add users to a user group:

  1. Log in using a Studio Owner or a Studio Manager account.
  2. On the Dashboard, select Studio to display the Studio page.
