Introduction

Use this article when you want to assign privileges to several users at once instead of one user at a time. In Tangelo you can group users (for example Management and Financial) and grant privileges to the whole group, which is useful for documents that combine different report types and would otherwise need rights set per individual user.

Summary

After following this article, you can create and remove user groups, add or remove users from a group, and assign privileges at group level.
