Security Groups

Accruent Space Intelligence users who want to configure building and details, or manage users, require specific permissions. To grant these permissions, add users to security groups and configure the necessary groups and permissions.

To view security groups configuration options, go to Configure > Security groups.

The Security groups page includes the following:

• Search: Type in at least 3 characters to find an existing security group.

• Create security group: Create a new security group.

• Name: The name of the security group.

• Pagination: Use the left or right arrows at the bottom of the grid to navigate through pages or select a specific page number. To adjust the number of entries displayed per page, click 25 per page and select a higher or lower number to show (10, 25, 50, or 100).
