Management of User Groups
As the MyNWS organization(s) grow, it often becomes necessary to split users into user groups. Not every user must or should have Admin rights on the organization, be able to create new projects, etc.
For this purpose, MyNWS provides the User Group Management area.
Creating a New User Group
If an administrator wants to create a new user group within an organization, they navigate in the User Menu of MyNWS to Manage User Groups, which brings them to the user‑group overview.
Here, by clicking Create User Group and entering a group name in the dialog that appears, a new user group can be created.
Creation Time
Creating a new user group can take between 5 and 10 seconds.
A popup notification in MyNWS informs you of the successful creation.
Adding Users
If an administrator wants to represent user permissions within an organization hierarchically, users can be assigned to one or more user groups.
To do this, navigate in the User Menu of MyNWS to Manage User Groups and, in the Action Menu of the desired group, select the entry Manage Users.
A menu opens, listing the existing users of the current organization.
Existing Users
By selecting all desired users and confirming with a click on Save, the chosen users are assigned to the corresponding group and receive an email notification.
New Users
Alternatively, users not yet present in MyNWS or the organization can be added by entering their email address. They will receive emails to acknowledge and complete their registration in MyNWS.
Removing Users
Analogous to adding users, administrators can also remove users from user groups.
To do this, navigate in the User Menu of MyNWS to Manage User Groups and, in the Action Menu of the desired group, select Manage Users.
In the following menu, remove the desired users from the selected list and confirm their removal from the chosen user group by clicking Save.
Adjusting User Group Permissions
If an administrator wants to adjust the permissions of a user group, they navigate in the User Menu of MyNWS to Manage User Groups and, in the Action Menu of the desired group, select Update Permissions.
A menu opens where the appropriate permissions can be set for the various products of the organization as well as for MyNWS itself.
A current reference of the available permissions and their implications can be found in the NWS‑ID Documentation Reference.
