How to Add Users to a Group

2/- To add or remove a user from a group click the Edit button that appears next to the user’s name.
3/- Next click the Change Group button.

Select the new group and click “Save” to assign the user to the new user group.
If a group is deleted, then all users in that group will be moved to the “Default group”.
A user that is greyed out in the user list, means that they have had their “VMS User” permission revoked in the naus Platform.
