User management
Groups are part of our user management system, if you haven't already, we recommend reading our article: User management explained.
You can make as many groups as you need. You have to assign every user with a non company-wide role to a group. One user can be assigned to multiple groups. You can create a group for everything you like, examples include customers, regions and machine types.
If you have many groups or groups in different categories, you can create group types in order to keep your groups structured. You can add every device to one group of every group type. This way a device can be part of multiple groups.
We have two default groups to get you started. Our default group are: Customer A and Customer B. They both fall under group type Customer. This is the most common way to divide users and router under groups for users of the StrideLinx Cloud. It is always possible to change or remove a group or group type later.
