Chapter 4: Configuration
4.9.4 Users > Add User Group or Configure Group Page
From the View User Groups page, you can create a new group or configure an existing group:
• To create a new group: Click the "Add User Group" option.
• To configure an existing group: Click
for a group.
The Add and Configure pages are similar in content.
User Group Name
The User Group name must be unique within the iPATH Agility Controller installation.
Allow Exclusive Mode
Defines whether the users within the group will be able to connect to channels exclusively (preventing other users from sharing
the connection). When this is set to "Inherit from global setting", the setting for the "Grant all users exclusive access" option
(within Dashboard > Settings) will be applied. Note: The final arbiter of whether any user can gain exclusive access is always
whether the channel being accessed is also set to allow exclusive connections.
Enable Remote OSD
Determines whether members of the chosen user group should be permitted to gain OSD access to remote receivers in order to
change channels.
Group Membership
This section allows you to select which users should be members of the group. Any permissions applied to the user group are
inherited by all users in the user group. Users who are not currently members are shown in the left list and those who are
members are shown within the right list. See Including and excluding a user... on the right for details about including and
excluding group membership.
Permissions
This section defines to which channels and/or channel groups the user within this group should have access. Note: Only the
channels/channel groups for which a user is given permission to access will appear within their channel list.
See Including and excluding a user... below for details about including and excluding channels and/or channel groups.
Receiver and Receiver Group Permissions
Receiver and Receiver Group Permissions are hidden by default because all users/user groups are initially granted permission to use
all receivers. If desired, permission to use a receiver and/or receiver group may be withdrawn from members of this user group by
revealing this section.
4.9.4.1 Including and Excluding a User Within Groups or Channels
The Group Membership and Permissions section use the same method to determine inclusion and exclusion:
To add the user to a group or grant access to a channel: Highlight one or more (use the CTRL key if selecting more than
one) of the entries in the left list and then click
to add them to the right list (you can also double-click on an entry to quickly
add it).
To add the user to all groups or grant access to all channels: Click
to move all entries from the left to the right list.
To remove the user from a group or channel: Highlight one or more (use the CTRL key if selecting more than one) entries in
the right list and then click
to move them back to the left list (you can also double-click on an entry to quickly remove it).
To remove the user from all groups or channels: Click
to move all entries from the right to the left list.
