User Groups allow you to create different groups with access to different datasets, as well as to reports within that dataset. For example, one group could be for web developers with access to the Site Overview, What's New, and Funnel reports, and another group could be for marketing staff with access to the Search, Site Overview, Robot, and Campaign reports. Or you could set up different groups responsible for different websites, so each group is only allowed access to datasets within its scope of responsibility.
Adding a New Group
To add a new group, click the New Group link just above the Group List. Assign a name to the group (spaces are not allowed in the name).
Granting Permission to Reports
Like users, groups can have permission to specific reports. They have the same three settings: Default, Deny, Allow.
Default
The default setting is to allow a report.
Deny
If set to Deny, no members of the group will be allowed to see the report, unless the user has been explicitly set to 'allow' that report.
Allow
If set to 'Allow' all members of the group will be allowed to see the report, unless the user has been explicitly set to 'deny' that report.
Granting Permission to Datasets
Select any datasets to which you want this group to have access. Hold down the CTRL key and click on any of the datasets in the Available Datasets column (right column) and then click the top arrow (<) to add those datasets to the user. Click Update to add the group.
Editing an Existing Group
To edit a group, simply click on that group in the Group List and then edit the information as desired. To make a dataset that is currently available to a group unavailable, click on the dataset in the Group's Datasets column and click on the right arrow (>). The dataset will be moved to the Available Datasets column, and the group will no longer have access to it.
Removing a Group
To remove a group, click on that group in the Group List and then click Remove at the bottom of the page.
Note: User settings will override group settings when determining what reports the user will receive. If a user has rights to all datasets but a group only has rights to a few, that user will be able to receive all datasets.
