User Groups

Time for action - creating a User Group for Customer A

Let's create a User Group for Customer A containing the same permissions as the recently created user:

3. Set the Default Policy for the Graph Perms, Template Perms, Tree Perms, and Device Perms to Deny and Grant Access to the same devices and trees as you did with the previously created user.
4. Now, click the Save button...
