Setup User Groups (web & app)
The User Groups functionality is used for optionally hiding some attributes (Mobs, Breeds, Breed Contents, Classes, Genders, Groups, Lots) by default on a per-user basis.
Some configuration lists may become quite large, and often only a small number of these values are relevant to a particular property or group of properties.
User Groups help manage this by hiding irrelevant list items, making dropdown selections focused and manageable.
User Groups do not control permissions to configuration items. Users are able to add/edit list values and assign them to any User Group.
User Groups can only be created by Administrators and Area Managers. Refer to Setup Users (web) for details on setting up users.
Setting Up a User Group on the Web
User Groups can be created and assigned to users on the web only.
