This feature is available only in BUGtrack Professional Edition.
Use
In large teams it might be convenient to split all users into separate groups in order to facilitate management processes. In BUGtrack, user groups allow users grouping at system level, i.e. user groups are project-independent.
In addition to easier user management, employing user groups also offers the following benefits:
- Faster user assignment during project administration;
- Ability to limit user access to bug records within group;
- Ability to limit access to reports.
There are following dependencies between users and user groups:
- A user may belong to only one group;
- A user group may include an unlimited number of users.
Users are assigned to groups via user records.
