Set up a User Group

The Gateway allows you to create User Groups of people who can be contacted for specific system problems.

 

You associate users with a group to serve as contacts for that User Group; they become part of the pool of User Groups you select from when you set up monitors and alarms. You also set the conditions and terms under which they will be contacted.

 

 

Note: Creating User Groups requires Administrator privileges.
