User/group rights are configured during the process of adding users/groups, see Add basic Users (on
page 149), Add Windows users (on page 150) and Add user groups (on page 150). Note that you can
also add basic and Windows users through the Manage user access wizard (on page 54). However,

right corner of the Management Application.

By grouping users, you can specify rights (see "Configure user and group rights" on page 151) for all
