My Groups

The groups you create are for granting permission to a defined group of users. To add or change the groups that belong to you, do the following:

1. Select My Groups from the Manage... drop-down box.

2. If you want to create a new group, enter a Group Name and Group Description in the Add a new group text box and click the Add button. Otherwise, skip this step.

3. To add names to a group, click the Edit button next to the group to which you would like to add names.

4. On the Edit Group form, make any necessary changes to the Name or Description field and click Manage Users for This Group.

5. On the Group Member Listing page, if you know the name or email of a person you want to add, enter it in the search box. If you want a listing of all users, type an asterisk (*) in one of the Search Box fields and click the Search button.

6. Select the check box next to every name you want to add to the group and click the Add button.

7. If you want to remove names from the Group Member listing, select the check box next to every name you want to remove and click the Remove button.

8. When you are done adding and removing names from your Group Member listing, click Back to Manage My Groups.

9. When you are done editing all your groups, click My Website in the Main Heading to return to your My Website page.

10. In Metadot Portal Server 4.5 and beyond, the Groups interface has additional functionality to allow an Admin to edit group information for any user. To do this, click on the See All Groups link, then click on the Edit for a group and then click on manage users for that group. Only the admin may edit another user's group in this manner.

When you change permissions on any of the page content, the new group will display in the Groups drop-down box on the Editing Permissions page.
