Configure security group

The Security group screen allows administrators to create, manage, and configure user groups in the nGenue application. Security groups help in organizing users with similar roles or access requirements, making it easier to assign permissions and manage system access efficiently. Each security group can contain multiple users, and you can view assigned users in the Users tab for reference.

The following table lists the icons available in the Security group screen and their respective functions:

Icons	Icons name	Description
	Add a user group record	Creates a new user group record.
	Edit current users group	Opens the selected user group record for editing.
	Save changes to current users group	Saves the changes made to the current user group record.
	Cancel changes to user group record	Discards any unsaved changes to the current user group record.
	Delete current user group record	Permanently deletes the selected user group record.
