Managing User Groups

User groups are basically used to categories users and their limits, in other words you can consider this as a subscription plan which will allow your user to use resources as per the user group [plan] settings.

Using these groups you can customize parameters and settings for every group including the product name, logout urls, interface, delivery method, x-mailer headers etc. You can also impose limits and the import thresholds to keep users in control and ensure that they will not utilize anything beyond their limits.

Once you install Oempro - by default it creates a user group called "Default User Group".

1. To create a new user group go to Settings > User Groups.
2. This will list all the existing user groups available in the system and will also allow you to create the new group.
3. Click on the "create user group" link
4. This will bring the User Group Creation screen with several options.
