Security Groups List View
- Tom Williams
A Security Group is assigned to a User to identify their user access/rights to pages and controls. Rather than setting up individual security rules uniquely for each user, Security Groups can be created and assigned to one or more users. This is helpful when there is more than one user that has the exact same rights. The purpose of this page is to add, edit, and remove security groups.

| Toolbar Icons | Description |
|---|---|
| Copy | Opens the Security Group Copy dialog. |
| Delete | Deletes the selected record(s). When clicked, users will be prompted with: "Are you sure you want to delete the selected records?". Click "OK" to confirm, or "Cancel" to return without deleting. WARNING: Records cannot be recovered once they are deleted!
|
| Edit | Opens the selected record for editing. If a record is not selected, the page will not open. |
| Excel |  Clicking the Excel toolbar icon exports the current contents of the grid to an Excel file that is automatically downloaded. The contents that export are only those currently visible. If the grid is filtered, only the filtered contents will be exported. |
| Favorites |   Clicking on the star icon when it is an outline, adds the page to the 'My Shortcuts' tab and fills in the star. Clicking on the star icon when it is filled in (solid color), removes the page from the 'My Shortcuts' tab and returns the icon to an outline.
|
| Grid Layout | Opens the Saved Grid Layout menu that allows the user to select another saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to a grid, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Saved Grid Layout icon and save the changes to the grid layout and name the new layout. The new layout can also be set as the default, instead of the System View. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).
