Summary
The User Group Maintenance window is used to create user groups, add users to a user group and update user group information. User groups allow you to create menu and database security at a group level and then assign that security to users. For example, if all UB clerks should have similar security settings (access to the same fields, windows and processes), you can create a UB Clerks user group and then assign all UB clerk user accounts to that group. The user accounts attached to the UB Clerk user group will inherit the security settings of the UB Clerk user group. If there are security settings on the user account that conflict with the user group security, the security settings on the user account will override the user group level settings. This allows you to assign specific security settings to user accounts. If a user account belongs to multiple user groups and the security on those user groups conflict (one user group grants access to a field and the other restricts it), the user group with the least restrictive access will apply.
