  5. Click Security Groups under the Security heading. 
  6. Click New on the ribbon.
  7. Click General.
  8. Enter the name and description of the security group and select the application of rights in which the rights of the security group will be applied. 
  9. Click Functional Rights.
  10. Select the functional rights that the assigned staff members need. 
    • Undefined. The functional right has not been assigned.
    • Grant. The functional right is allowed.
    • Never allow. Restricts all functional rights, including any inherited access.

  12. Assign staff to the security group.
  13. Click Save & Close to exit.
