Go to Settings ‣ Manage Users and click on Create. Alt text

Fill in the form with the needed information. Under the tab Access Rights choose the group within each application the user can have access to. The list of applications shown is based on the applications installed on the database. Alt text

When you are done editing the page and have Saved it, an invitation email is automatically sent to the user. The user must click on it to accept the invitation and create a login.

Security Groups

A group is a collection of users who share some access permissions. The assets of a group are available to persons who are members of a group. Like Manager, advisor, and so forth.

A security rule specifies the access permissions that a group grants to its members. A resource, such as a Trade model, has security rules connected to it.
