Administrators can manage user accounts, groups, and permission roles from within the Biologics LIMS application.

• Manage Users
• Manage Groups
• The "Users" Group
• Manage Permission Role Assignments

Manage Users

Select Administration from the user avatar menu, then click the Users tab.

See and manage the users with access to the application. You can create, delete, deactivate, and reactivate users from this page.

Select a row to see more details about that user in a panel on the right.

Manage Groups

On the Groups tab, manage group memberships. Functional user groups, like "Reviewers" or "BioEditors", make it easier to manage permissions by role instead of always by individual.

Type a new group name and click Create Group to add one. Click any group to add users (or other groups) to it.

The "Users" Group

Note that there is always a "Users" group predefined in every project, sometimes used to represent every user with any access to the project, though this is not automatic. Users or groups must be explicitly added, or you can choose to delete this group if you don't want to use it.

Manage Permission Role Assignments

On the Permissions tab, grant (and revoke) roles for the users and groups. Open a role by clicking on the tile, then add users or groups as needed.

Remember that permissions are additive. If a user is in a group that is granted "Editor", and also individually granted just the "Reader" role, they will have Editor permissions.
