Groups
What are Groups
The Rocketadmin Groups are sets of users that share similar job functions or roles in your Company. Organizing users into groups simplifies their management. It is significantly easier to provide access and permissions to a group instead of assigning them to each member separately.
Managing Groups
The Admin group
When you add a Rocketadmin connection, an Admin user group with full permissions enabled is automatically created and assigned to the connection. Your account as creator is added to this group.
You are not allowed to delete the Admin group, rename it or change its permissions. You can only review the preset options and add / remove members.
If you need to provide users with limited rights, you can effortlessly create a new group and define specific privileges.
