Creating User Groups: Example 1

This example describes how to create four-level hierarchical user groups and how their rights are formed. This example describes the Back office support group.

Figure 1. Hierarchical User Groups


This list describes the four different levels in the user group hierarchy.

  • The top level: Back office support group

    At the top level, settings that can be inherited by all subgroups are configured. In this example, the Serve and the Statistics Summary rights to Back office queue group are used as common rights. This means that all users in all subgroups have these rights. The lower you go in groups, the more you can configure group-level rights or settings. Inheritance goes from top to bottom.

    User Rights

    • Inherited rights from Back office support group: the Serve and Statistics Summary rights to Back office queue group

    • Direct user rights: Statistics Details for Back office queue group and the Serve and the Statistics Summary rights for Sales queue group

  • The fourth level: BO managers group

    In this group, the managers have full rights to all other users in the subgroups. They also have inherited rights to Back office queue group and Sales queue group. When additional direct user rights for queue groups are given to managers at this level, there is no overlapping of user rights. The members of this group (that is, the managers) receive their rights from one place. With direct rights for user groups, the managers can monitor all other user groups from the top level to the last level. Different rights can be selected for individual user groups. In this example, supervisor-related and monitoring rights are given.
