Managing user groups in Vista Cloud

User groups in Vista Cloud contain a set of permissions relevant to different staff roles. For example, you might have different user groups for managers and administrators in Cinema Manager. When users are assigned to a user group, the user will be granted the group's permissions.

Important! User groups need to be created and updated manually in the applicable Vista capability, in addition to identity management. 

Creating a user group

1. In Vista Cloud settings, go to User groups.
2. Click New user group.
3. Select the Vista app the user group applies to.
   

   Note: Contact us if the app you want isn't in the list.

4. Enter a display name and code.
5. Save.
   The user group is now listed on the user group page.
6. In the applicable Vista app, create the same user group. Ensure the user group code (and optionally the name) match what you entered in step 4.

The user group is created and ready to configure.

Assigning users to user groups

Users are assigned to user groups when you grant them access permission to Vista apps.

Removing a user group

1. In Vista Cloud settings, go to User groups.
2. Click the rubbish bin icon next to the user group you want to remove.
3. In the applicable Vista app, remove the same user group.

The user group is now removed from Vista Cloud, and the group's permissions will be revoked from any linked users.
