Add a Group

To add a group, highlight Groups in the left-hand pane and click Add Group in the toolbar. The Group window is displayed:

Enter the name of the new group in the Group Name field.

The new group can be assigned to one of the four predefined project roles (which correspond to the default groups). The role a user-created group belongs to defines the access to AVEVA P&ID "objects" that users assigned to it will have. Refer to Object Security Settings for more information. Users are assigned to groups when they are created. Refer to Set up Users.

To assign the new group to a role, double-click on the role name in the Not Member of Role list. The selected role is then moved to the Member of Role list. A user-created group can only be allocated a single role.

To unassign the new group from a role double-click on the role name in the Member of Role list.

To add a user defined group, select the User Defined role in the Not Member of Role list. A user defined group can be associated with specific users, objects and areas.

Click OK to complete the group creation procedure.
