Create an Administrator Group

We recommend that you start by creating an administrator group with portal admin privileges. After creating the group, assign any administrators who will be involved in the portal set-up process. To access the Groups page, click the drop-down menu in the top-right corner of the homepage and click the Groups link. 

Adding Groups

Groups allow you to easily manage access to your content and manage administration permissions in your GZ Learn portal. With Groups you can:

• Allow a grouping of users to view specific modules in your learning management system (LMS)
• Allow a grouping of administrators to have specific permissions in your portal

In this article, we will explain:

• How to access the Groups page
• How to add a Group
• How to set custom Group Permissions

ACCESS THE GROUPS PAGE

To access the Groups page, click the drop-down menu in the top-left corner of the page and select the Groups link (Fig. 1).
