How to Create and Manage a Group of Users
Within your organization it can be helpful to create subdivisions of users in groups, for example to give them access only to specific content such as in these examples:
- Year 1 general biology class vs Year 2 human histology class
- Gastric tumour multi disciplinary team meeting vs Breast tumour MDT
- Liver second opinions vs Lymphoma second opinions
As an Aministrator or editor you define which Member users can access the group and control what content they can see based on their licences .
Create a new Group
The 'Groups' tab on the sidebar allows you to create groups of users and manage access to the content you have created, like collections or courses for education organisations or case collections for case sharing and AI.
Adding content and making changes to your group
Click the edit icon next to your group to start adding members and content
** How to add users**
Remember the purpose of a group is to use it in the context of restricted access to content for a group of users, you don't want these users to have access to all the information in your organisation and also they should not be able to change anything. My Pathomation allows you to assign different roles to users.
The different roles are Manager, Editor and Member.
- Managers have all rights including uploading, sharing and payment plans.
- Editors have all rights related to content creation and user management.
- Members can only see what was assigned to them by Editors or Managers, and have no rights to upload slides or change content.
