If you plan to use data groups, you should set them up before you add users, user groups, or data to Aperio eSlide Manager. The reasons for establishing data groups first are that:
As you add users, you can specify the data groups to which they have access;
As you add data, you can also the data group to which it belongs.
An administrator can grant users access to data groups. The level of access can be any of those listed below. You can grant users:
Full Control - Add, edit or delete data in the data group.
Read-Only - View-only data in the data group.
No Access - Not able to see the data in the data group.
To give users or user groups access to a data group:
Go to the Administrative menu in the Aperio eSlide Manager menu bar and select Data Group Management.
Edit a data group by clicking on its name or clicking Edit on the same line as the data group.
On the Edit Data Group page, drag users or user groups from the Available column into the Assigned column (or use the left- and right-arrows).
To search for individual users or user groups, begin typing characters contained in the name of the user or user groups in the Search box and only names containing those characters display in the list of available users and user groups.
To remove a user or user group from data group access, drag the user or user group from the Assigned column to the Available column (or use the left- and right-arrows).
Click Save to save your settings.
The default data group exists before you add any data groups. When a user scans a slide, the resulting image is automatically added to the Default data group. Administrators automatically have Full Control permission to the Default data group, but if others will be entering information and associating data in the Aperio eSlide Manager data tables, those users must have Full Control permissions for the default data group. Because they have no permissions by default, the administrator will need to add and edit the settings for any user who will be working with data assigned to the default group.
