In Task groups, you create and edit task groups for feature permissions for administrative tasks. These permissions include the features accessible from the menu bar, such as Site explorer and Administration. Task groups do not determine who has task rights. Task groups simply organize rights to associate with a role in Security Assignments. You associate task groups with roles so users can perform tasks on the website. For example:
| • | The Web Designer may create web pages from start to finish and needs assistance from co-workers. You can associate the Web Designer role with a task group that has security rights to all areas of the program. |
| • | The Director of Special Events may update last year’s golf tournament web page with this year’s information. You can associate the Event Managers role with a task group that has security rights to create and edit parts. This allows the Director to update the Event Registration Form part with this year’s information. |
It is important to remember that task groups are not directly connected to user records or roles.
Note: In Roles, you include user records in groups. In Task groups, you organize related rights for feature permissions. In Security assignments, you associate roles and task groups to apply security for a site. For information about Roles and Security assignments, see Roles and Security Assignments.
