This section will provide you with the information how to create, edit and delete user groups.
To create a new user group click on the ‘User Groups’ link of ‘User Management’ section in the left administration menu. The user groups page will be opened. On that page click the ‘Add a New User Group’ and set the User Group parameters listed below:
• ID - the unique user group ID (mandatory parameter);
• Group name - the unique name of the group (mandatory parameter);
• Registration form template - file name that includes registration form template (if a file name is not specified the system will use a default template ('registration_form.tpl') to display the registration form template);
• Description - detailed information about the group;
• Immediate activation - this flag means that users from this group will be activated immediately. If the flag is not selected a user will get an activation letter with a link. Clicking on that link user account will be activated.
• User Menu Template - file name that includes the template for the user menu. If the file name is not specified the system will use a default template ('user_menu.tpl') to display the user menu template.
To finish the User Group creation click on the ‘Add’ button.
The newly created group will be displayed in the group table below.
By clicking on the ‘Edit’ icon administrator will see two forms opened: ‘User Group Info’ and ‘Add Membership Plan’. In ‘User Group Info’ administrator can change ID, Group name, Registration form template, Description, Immediate activation and User Menu Template. By using ‘Add Membership Plan’ form one or more membership plans for a group can be added. All ‘Membership Plans’ will be displayed in the ‘Membership Plans’ table. Using this table the administrator can delete any of membership plans (if the ‘User Number’ for this plan is zero) by clicking on the ‘Delete’ icon in the ‘Actions’ column.
Each user group has its own user profile fields which characterize users of a group. The administrator can add, edit and delete these fields by clicking the 'Edit User Profile Fields' link on the 'Edit User Group' page.
