Note title A web of relationships Due to an object-based approach, you can associate Elements, Element Groups, and Views with user groups, and vice versa. Later in this module, we create a View, and associate it with the user group we are currently creating now. If we had created that View first, we would be able to could make that association now.
Also note the Elements and Element Groups in the user group definition determine which Elements members of the group have "access" to. This is one way that user groups imply domain of use. This property works in conjunction with user roles: a user group determines what a user has access to, while the user role determines what they can do with the things they can access.
Click Save, then click Close Window. In the main UI window, the Users panel is displayed.
