To manage the security of your business information, users and groups of users can be secured to databases, Inboxes, Archives, and Searches. Licenses can be allocated as needed between users.

The User & Group Administration interface is where permissions are set for users and groups or users by members of the ssAdmin group. The interface allows you to select single or multiple users and/or groups of users, and to select single or multiple security components.

Use the User & Groups panel to select one or more users and to create new Square 9 Users. Use the Security Components panel in the center to select the objects to which permissions will be granted for the selected users and groups. The selected objects could be individual or multiple Databases, Archives, or Searches. Use the Object Permissions panel, on the right, to set the permissions on the objects selected from the Security Components panel for the users and groups selected in the Users & Groups panel. The panels are context-sensitive, varying as selections are made from panels to the left of the panel. Finally, use the Confirm Changes button to apply your settings for the select user or users.
