Assigning Users as Group Managers

A full Scalix administrator can delegate limited group-management permissions to a current Scalix user, to manage one or more groups that they are already members of. Such users undertake a Group Manager role, which has a much more limited scope than ScalixGroupAdmin members, who can manage all of the existing groups.

A Group Manager can:

• Add or delete members from a group in which they are members
• Modify a limited set of group-specific information about the members

Assigning a group manager

To assign a current user as a group manager:

1. In the toolbar, click the Groups button.
2. In the contents pane, select the group to which you want to assign a manager.
3. When the group's options appear in the display pane, click the Managers tab.
4. Use the filtering feature to find the appropriate person.
5. Click the checkbox to the left of the person you want to designate as group manager.
6. Click the now-active Save Changes button at the bottom of the display pane.
7. To verify that this user is now a manager of the group, open the groups list.

Reviewing group managers

To see who has been designated manager of any group:

1. In the toolbar, click the Groups button.
2. In the contents pane, select the group whose managers you want to view.
3. In the display pane to the right, click the Managers tab.
4. In the Filter Users By area of the display pane, select Managers from the drop-down menu.
5. The users designated as manager(s) for that group display.
