NOTE: This help page is part of a multi-step procedure. For more information on creating a group, see the "Creating a User Group" topic. For more information on modifying a group, see the "Modifying Group Information" topic. Or you can see an overview on maintaining groups.

This function is not applicable to Banner defined repositories.

The "Edit Group" page appears when you have either created a group name or when you have selected a group for maintenance. This page enables you to specify the reports and the users associated with the selected group. As a reminder, the group name is displayed in the dialog box.

1. Specify the reports and users to be associated with the group.

To add a report to the group:

Add In the field provided, either manually key in a report name, if known, or use the icon to select reports from the lookup page. Then click the Add button. (This lookup page will include all of the reports defined for the repository that are not already associated with the group.) The report name(s) are added to the "Reports" scroll box.

To remove a report from the group:

Remove Select a report name in the scroll box and click the Remove button shown at left. The report name will be removed from the "Reports" scroll box.

To add a user to the group:

Add In the field provided, either manually key in a user ID, if known, or use the icon to select a user from the lookup page. Then click the Add button. (This lookup page will include all of the users defined for the repository that are not already associated with the group.)

To remove a user from the group:

Remove Use the icon to select a user ID from the lookup page and click the Remove button shown at left. (The lookup page will include only those users already associated with the group.) The user ID will be removed from the group.

Select the Done button.

Done When finished adding and removing groups and users, click the Done button, shown at left. The system re-displays the "Choose Group" page, so that you can continue your group maintenance tasks.

NOTE: Another way to associate a user with a particular group is via the "Edit Groups" page. On that page, you select a user and then specify the user's groups (whereas on this page, you select a group and then specify the group's users). You can use the page that suits your requirements.
