Manage Groups in Vision

Use Vision Groups Management to define the devices that users can access. When you add a new group to Vision, you assign users and devices to that group. Users who are assigned to the group can access all devices that are also assigned to the group.

You must be an administrator to add, edit, or delete a group.

  1. On the Management menu, click Groups Management to display the Groups Management dialog box.
