Each agency (PCSA, PCPA, and PNA) identifies a number of user groups, which categorize types of workers according to the work they do in the system. Each user group contains one or more user security profiles. A profile defines access rights to specific functions in the system, thereby controlling what a worker is able to do in the system. A worker may be assigned one or more user groups, depending on the worker's job.
A user group may be State-exclusive, meaning that the group applies only to a State-level organization and may not be copied and used by an agency.
View an agency's user groups as follows:
Click the Administration tab at the top of the screen. The Staff screen appears.
Click the Security tab.
Click the User Groups link in the navigation bar on the left. The User Groups Search screen appears.
Complete the Type and Agency fields to select the type of user group and the agency.
Click Search. The user groups that meet your search criteria appear in the search results table.
Click the Edit link to view the details of a user group. This displays the User Group Details screen, which lists the profiles assigned to the group and indicates whether it's state-exclusive.
Click Cancel. You are returned to the User Groups Search screen.
