IMPORTANT: In order to create a new group you must be logged into the system as an Administrator.


Creating a New Group

From the Main LYNX Screen at the top select "Tools" then "Manage Groups"
Choose "Add a Group"
Next type in the required field* (group name)
It is recommended that you also add a group description but it is not required.

(Note: each group name does not have to be unique but it is recommended that they are.)

The administrator can now choose "Edit" from the top menu and pick any of the below options.

Edit Group Rights	Allows the administrator to add or remove group rights. (Note: Rights in red are global rights and are not specific to a project.)
Project Assignments	Allows the administrator to add or remove projects this group has been assigned.
User Members	Allows the administrator to add or remove a user.
Edit Another Group	Allows the administrator to switch to another group from the Select a Group to Edit screen.
Clone a Group	Allows the administrator to clone the rights, user members, and assigned projects of another group that is already created.

*Required Fields: This information must be filled in before this user can be saved. If the field is left blank you will get an error message indicating that this field must be filled in before you can continue.
