Database Groups

Here you can define the users access to the stored data (logs) in the Logmanager system.

As a rule, a user can be assigned to one database group.

• Name: Name of the database group.
• Description: Description of the database group.

The group “Admin”, you cannot edit or delete it, all the other groups you can add, edit, or delete.

After clicking on the plus icon it displays a form where you can create a new database group.

• Group Name: Short name of the database group, allowed are only lowercase letters a - z and numbers 0 - 9.
• Description: Short description of the database group.
