Add new users to a user group in DOORS

Answer

Adding new users to a group is part of configuring access controls on groups.

To use access controls on groups, you must have Create Group rights.

To configure access controls on groups:

1. In the Database Explorer, click Tools > Manage Users. The Manage Users dialog box is displayed.
   
2. Click the Groups tab, and then select a group from the list.
   
3. Click Edit. The Edit Group dialog box opens.
   
4. Click the Access tab, and then select a name in the list. If you have not configured access controls on groups before, the Access Rights list will only contain the group Everyone.
   By default, Everyone has full (RMDA) access.
   
5. 5. Select a user or group and click Edit to change their access rights to the group. The Edit Access dialog box is displayed.
   
6. Choose the access rights for the user or group and Click OK. The following table describes the access rights you can choose.
   

Access Right	The user/group can	The user/group cannot
None	N/A	View the group or make any alterations to the group
Read (R)	See the group name and membership details	Add and delete members or alter access rights
Modify (M)	Add or delete members and rename group	Delete group or alter access rights
Delete (D)	Alter membership and delete group	Alter access rights
Admin (A)	Delete the group and alter group’s access controls	N/A

These access rights are accumulative and not exclusive.

Note: There is no Create access right on groups.

Note: You can define new access rights on an individual or group basis by clicking Add instead of Edit and you can delete access rights by choosing a name from the list and clicking Remove.
