Creating & Managing Groups
All permissions in Mura are group-based. As such, it's important to take time to think about the structure of your site, and how you wish to enable and/or restrict access throughout it. Also, as discussed in the "Author vs. Editor Roles" section, you should consider these roles/privileges when creating your groups.
There are two main "pools" of groups within Mura: System Groups, and Member Groups. The key difference between these pools of groups is System Groups have access to the back-end administration area of Mura, and Member Groups do not. This doesn't mean Member Groups cannot edit content, it simply means users of Member Groups cannot log in to the back-end administration area, unless they are also a member of a System Group.
This may sound somewhat confusing if you're new to managing groups and users. However, be patient, read through this entire section, and you will find Mura can accommodate some of the most complicated scenarios you can think of with ease.
How to Access Users & Groups
- From the back-end administration area of Mura, click Users from the primary navigation to reveal an additional set of menu items.
- To manage users, select Users.
- To manage groups, select Groups.
- You can also select Add User to add a new user, or Add Group, to add a new group.
- To delete a group, from the Users & Groups screen, select the three-dot menu on the row of the group you wish to delete, and click Delete.
- You should be prompted with an Alert dialog box. To confirm, select OK. To cancel, click Cancel.
