Modifying Multiple User Accounts in PWA

[Ris]

Does any one know how to modify multiple user accounts in PWA. I'd like to
set permissions for about 20 accounts without going into each account.

Thanks in advance

Create a custom Group in PWA that has the permissions you seek for these 20
user accounts, and then add the user accounts to the Group. Wherever
possible, you should ALWAYS avoid editing the permissions for individual
users, as it creates a permissions nightmare for the administrator. Hope
this helps.

Dale,

I have a follow up question to Ris's. I initially set permissions for
individual users, but then saw this was not the best way to manage security.
I now have custom groups, and have everyone assigned to these groups, but
this does not seem to control the permissions. Is it because the groups
will not override the individual permission settings? If so, is there a way
to remove the individual settings?

Thank you.

You will need to remove the settings one user account at a time, much the
same way that you set these permissions in the first place. Sorry for the
bad news.
