Groups

In Groups you can create and manage groups of users to access Sensedia products. Groups is similar to Teams in previous API Manager versions.

Group Listing

The Groups screen shows a list of existing teams. The list informs the name of each group (NAME column), and their description (DESCRIPTION column).

To edit or view more information click the group name (or anywhere else on the same line).

Search Field

Above the list of existing groups there is a search field. You can use keywords to search for specific groups.

The field accepts word compositions or excerpts of a word to filter the groups.

Creating Groups

To register a new group, click the New Group button, represented by the + symbol, on the lower right corner of the screen.

The next screen is the beginning of a three-step process. To navigate between steps, click the button represented by the symbol > on the lower right corner of the screen and then choose NEXT to advance to the next step or CANCEL to abort. You can also skip steps (only after entering the group name) by clicking on the navigation bar (breadcrumbs).

  • OVERVIEW: here you can define a name (mandatory) and add a description.

  • USERS: choose the users that will be part of the group. You can select from the list of users or search by a specific name. You can use name snippets or compositions. By clicking on SHOW SELECTED ONLY you can list only the users you have already selected, making it easier to check the group members.

  • REVIEW: review the information and, if everything is correct, click the FINISH button on the bottom right corner of the screen. Attention: make sure you click FINISH to confirm the creation of the group. If you leave the screen without clicking that button, the group will not be created and the information will be lost.

Valid characters for group name include letters, numbers and hyphens (no spaces or other special characters)

Editing a Group

To edit a group, click the name of the group that appears in the group list. You will be directed to a screen that shows the list of users that belong to that group.

To add new users to the group, click the button ASSIGN USERS. In the screen that opens, select the user you want to include. You can select more than one user at once.

You can also use the search field to find a user. To check the selected users, click the SHOW SELECTED ONLY button. Click SAVE to confirm or CANCEL. You will see these options when you hover over the check mark (✓) located on the lower right corner of your screen.

You can also edit the group’s description. To do so, click the button EDIT GROUP INFO on the top right area of the screen.

Deleting a Group

To delete a group, click the trash can icon next to the edit group button. A window will open for you to confirm the action. Click DELETE to proceed with the deletion or CANCEL.
