The Groups tab in the Access Controller Desktop Online dashboard will allow you to create new access groups, update existing access groups and remove an access group.

These actions will require a user to have Write permission for Access Controller.

Users with the Execute permission can only view the access groups.

Groups Table

A list of access groups will be displayed in the Groups Table when clicking into the Groups tab.

Administrator is a predefined access group. By default, this group has full access to all the activities and functions in the system and it cannot be deleted. You are only permitted to change the Access Controller permissions for the Administrator group.
