Administrators who are managing Coruson

Administration access is required.

Coruson security and access is managed through groups and dynamic roles.

A dynamic role is a relationship that the user has with the record (e.g. the report owner, the document author, etc). 

A group is a collection of users who are then assigned a level of access because of their membership in the group.

This article outlines how to create a new security group and is split into the following sections:
