Introduction
To operate on the XTRF Platform, each user requires an individual account with a username and password. An individual user account is always assigned to a user group. The user group defines access rights for all members within the Home Portal.
On the Home Portal there are several predefined user groups available. You may use them, adapt their properties to your needs or create your own user groups.

(Optional) Select a Group Leader among the Home Portal users.
Decide whether the new group should be an Active one.
In the table below, decide on the access permission for the new group:
For each Home Portal area listed in the left-hand column, select the actions available for this group:
Browse - allows data filtering.
Display - displays data without searching options.
Add - allows the creation of new items.
