Managing Groups

In MyStacks, ‘Groups’ are collections that may contain users, Interstacks devices, and other nested groups. This article will focus on the management of groups of users, which is conducted through the Organization Management Widget.

The interface

The Organization Management widget is an administrative widget that displays each group of which you are a member, as well as a list of devices and users associated with that group. Administrators may use this widget to add or remove users, and set permissions levels. See the interface below.

1. Expand All: The ‘Expand All’ button opens all collapsed lists of groups, devices, and users in the Organization Management widget. Items can be opened or closed individually using the arrow icons to the left of each row.
2. Collapse All: Closes all lists of groups, devices, and users in the Organization Management Widget.
3. Remove Users: This button becomes active when one or more users are selected using the multiselect feature (10). Click to remove users from a group.
4. Add Devices: This self-service feature is under development. Please contact your Interstacks support engineer to add new devices to a group.
5. Create/Update Users: Only visible to administrators of this group. Click to create new user accounts or modify existing users’ permissions.
6. Invite Users: Only visible to administrators of this group. Click to create a new user account, and send a notification email to the new user with an invitation link.
7. Group: The name of the group being edited. In order to share a dashboard with another user, you must be members of the same group. Groups may be nested to form subgroups. Contact your Interstacks support engineer to add or modify a group.
8. Devices List: The list of devices, or stacks, which are accessible to this group. This determines which stacks and tags you may access during widget configuration.
9. Users List: The list of users who are members of this group. This determines whom you may share a dashboard with.
10.  Multiselect feature: Use this to select one or more users to remove or modify.
11. Email: Lists the email address of each user.
12. Permissions: Lists the permission level for each user. Modify this using the Create/Update Users button (5).
13. Recent Activity: Click the information icon to view recent login activity for a user.
14. Last Status: Lists whether a user has a pending invitation, or has accepted and verified their account.
