Add Users to Groups

Overview
Groups can be used to logically organize Accelerator users, e.g. by department i.e. sales, accounting, business office etc. Once a group has been created, you can add existing or new users to a group which then inherit all the attributes of that group.  These attributes include folders, custom fields, and custom field panels.  To create and add users to groups, do the following:

  1. Open the Accelerator phone book application by selecting  Start|Programs|Accelerator|Accelerator Phone Book, or by clicking on the |Go to the Accelerator Phone Book| button on the CIT tool bar. 
     
  2. From within the Accelerator Phone Book application, click |File|Administrator|Add/Remove users.  You will be prompted to login to the Accelerator Administration Utility, use the same login information you use to login to the Accelerator phone book to login to this utility.


    The File|Aministrator| option is only available if your specific Accelerator login has been granted administrative rights.


     
  3. From the |User Logins| Tab, highlight the user profile you would like to edit and click the |Edit Highlighted User| button.


     
  4. From the 'User Properties' dialogue box, click the |Edit| button from within the |Groups| section.


     
  5. From the |Groups for this User| dialogue box, select the group or groups in which you would like to add this user.  Click |OK| once you have selected the appropriate groups.



     
  6. Click the |Save| button from the 'User Properties' screen to save any changes you have made to the user profile.
