Creating a group
To use groups and permissions features, you must be on an enterprise level subscription.
The BuildBee group management tools allow you to apply different access permissions to individual user accounts within the same site.
These permissions include:
- Submit print jobs to a supervised queue
- Print unsupervised on any printer attached to this group
- Access the maintenance console of any printer attached to this group
- View the site overview dashboard within the enterprise tools
- Access the lesson plans for teachers
- Create, modify and delete groups; access all printers and control the queue
Step 1 - Access groups in enterprise tools
- Select the 'enterprise tools' button at the top of the page:
- Then, select the 'groups' button on the left side of the page:
Step 2 - Create a group
- Create a group by selecting the large 'plus' button.
- Give the group a name.
Step 3 - Add users and printers to the group
- Access the group you just created.
- Select the pencil 'edit' button located just under the name of the group:
Add users
- Select the 'USERS' tab.
- To add users to the group, select the large 'plus' icon:
- Select users from the left column labelled 'Unselected' to grant access to them. If you make a mistake, you can select them on the right hand column to remove them from your selection.
- Select the 'ADD SELECTED TO GROUP' button to confirm your selection and return to the group page.
Add printers
- Select the 'PRINTERS' tab.
- To add printers to the group, select the large 'plus' icon:
- Select printers from the left column labelled 'Unselected' to grant access to them. If you make a mistake, you can select them on the right hand column to remove them from your selection.
- Select the 'ADD SELECTED TO GROUP' button to confirm your selection and return to the group page.
Step 4 - Assign group rights
- Whilst still editing the group you created, select the switches next to each permission you wish to assign to that group.
Rights are additive. This means that if an account has gained the right to perform an action, it will retain that right even if another group removes that right. The account must be removed from any groups with contradicting rights.
- Turning the group activity switch off will disable all the rights you have selected for that group. Turning it back on will apply the same rights you had previously chosen.
Step 5 - Save your changes
- Once you're happy with the changes you've made, scroll back to the top of the screen and select 'SAVE'.
If you don't select 'SAVE', any changes to users and/or printers you made will be lost.
