6. User groups

In order to ensure flexibility in the handling of freely configurable workflows and the corresponding users, you will need to define a number of user groups. These user groups can be understood as the roles, activities or skills of individual users within the workflow. By way of example, user groups can be created for scan operators, metadata editors and administrators. You are free to define these groups as you wish in Goobi and then assign individual users to them. To open the list of existing user groups, click on the menu item Administration - User groups in the menu. Goobi will display a list of all the user groups that have already been defined. For each of these user groups, you can also display a list of all the users assigned to that group. To show this list, simply click on the little symbol to the left of the user group name.
List of all previously configured user groups and assigned users
To create additional user groups, click on the Create new user group link. To edit existing user groups, however, you need to click on the Edit symbol in the Actions column.

Instead, the GoobiScript to be allowed is named in the right input field and is accepted by clicking on the button with the plus icon.
