User Groups Configuration Wizard
Every user in the system is associated with a single user group. User groups are used to define the user's search and delivery restrictions. Before the user signs in to the system, the user's user group is Guest.
The User Groups Configuration wizard (Primo Home > Ongoing Configuration Wizards > Configure User Groups) allows you to manage your user groups via the User Group code table. From this code table, you can perform the following operations on user groups:
Changes to the user groups must be deployed before changes take effect. To deploy these changes, click Deploy on the Configure User Groups page (see User Groups Code Tables Page).
