PURPOSE
This document dives detailed steps on how to assign rights and permissions by creating user groups in the system.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Creating user groups can allow the company to define roles. Permissions are assigned to a user group. Users who belongs to a user group inherit the rights.
PROCEDURE
1. To create a user group, click on Set Up > Global > User and Rights from the menu.
2. In the User screen, click on Group.
3. Click on New Group to be brought to this screen.
4. Fill in the Short Name. For example, we will create a group that can only do Foreign Exchange transactions so we will name it FX Dealing group.
5. For the Full Rights field, select No.
6. Choose the Accounting Centre Group from the dropdown. In this case, we will choose “Sg group.” This user or any other user under the FX Dealing group will only be able to view and do transactions inside the “Sg group.” To view how to create an accounting centre group and assign members, click here.

11. In the Category field, choose Foreign Exchange from the dropdown.
12. Click Refresh and the list of access rights for the Foreign Exchange module will be displayed. Pick the permission you want the user to have.

14. Click Back Button twice to display the main User Group screen.
15. Tick on the checkbox on the left side of the user group created (FX Dealing Group), then click Approve.

Amending the user group will disable all the users associated with this group from accessing any functions in the system until the changes to the user group are approved by an authorised user. To prevent this, please ensure that you have one user group with access rights 10346 to approve user group changes that is remained approved in the system and assigned to you. This is so that user who belongs to this user group can then be used to approve these amended user groups.
