Creating user groups

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

All users must log in to WebUntis so that WebUntis knows what a user may and may not do.

Rights are not assigned to individual users but to user groups. Each user must therefore belong to a user group.

 

The following user groups are created when WebUntis is installed:

 

admin        user group for system administrators, rights for setting up and administering the system technically.

untis        user group for users transferring data from Untis.

user        standard user group (for teachers).

 

You should first create different user groups in the navigation menu under <Maintenance>. You can assign individual users with the "Assign" function at the bottom of the screen.

 

 

WU_11_3000

 

Your can set the following attributes:

 

Default user group

This user group is used when a new user is created. For this reason only one user group may be the default user group.

 

Max. number of open bookings (only with WebUntis Agenda)

You can use this field to control the maximum number of open bookings for each member in a user group. If, for example, only 5 open bookings are allowed, a 6th booking will only be possible after the earliest booking has expired.

 

Bookings possible until [days in advance] (only with WebUntis Agenda)

You can use this field to prevent users from making bookings on any dates. An entry of 30, for example, only allows bookings in the next 30 days (from the current date).

 

Room group

The right to make bookings can be restricted to various groups of rooms. This specifies that only rooms in the selected group can be booked.

 

Session timeout [min]

The session timeout is the time after which inactive users will be automatically logged out of the system. While the timeout set in the general settings applies to all users, you can define different timeouts here for different groups of users.

 

Users are not allowed to change the password

Users may not change password passworda assigned by the administrator.
