User Groups
 
When the system administrator sets up a user account for you, you are assigned to one or more user groups. Each user group embodies a set of 
privileges the members of the group have. These privileges delineate which parts of the VMX300(-E) system members have access to and what 
events members are notified of.
Your system administrator should instruct you in which user groups you belong to and what privileges you have. You can only exercise the 
privileges of one group at a time. If you belong to more than one group, you must select one of the groups you belong to when you log in. For the 
duration of that session, your privileges are limited to those granted by the group you selected when you logged in. To exercise the privileges of 
another, different group that you belong to, you must log out and log in again, this time selecting the other group.
If you are connecting to more than one server, you can select a different user group to log in under for each server you connect to.
 
Default user group: 
 
To save yourself the trouble of selecting a user group every time you log in, you can set a user group to log in to by default. 
Thereafter, the client will log you in automatically under the default group, providing you are connecting to the same server from the same client 
as when you set the default. You can later override the default.
If you are connecting to more than one server, you can set a different default user group for each server you are connecting to.
