GMS - Help Page for Administrators

Groups inside the GMS are organized in a tree structure (parent groups contain child groups). You can navigate the structure clicking on the group names. The parent of all groups is called ROOT.

Each group has its own members and permissions.

GMS supports the following permissions:

You can delete groups using trash icons (). A dialog will ask for confirming the operation before deleting the group.

Managing memberships

Go to the "Members" tab and click on the "Add member" button:

Managing permissions

Go to the "Permissions" tab and click on the "Add permission" button:

The following modal dialog is displayed:

Type the name or the email of the user in the search input in order to select the desired user.
