In order to add users to a group, you must have three permissions:
- ViewUsers
- ModifyUser
- ModifyUserGroups
Optional. To remove users from all groups other than this one, check the box for Remove the users from their original group(s). The removal happens at the same time as adding the user to this group. For more information, see Users.
Indicators provide information about items, tickets, alerts, and messages. To control how some indicators appear in Messages ( ) and if they are announced with a sound, see Account > Modify Preferences > Indicator Settings.
Choose the registration codes the group can work on.
A common use for limiting a group's responses is to let a team or department at a company have its own set of responses. For example, a company could have four regions, each with its own team. The company could give each regional team its own group and own set of responses. For more information, see Responses.
