Users of the Zephyr Defect Tracking System are grouped into different Groups with control on the permissions of what they can and cannot do. Default groups are QA and Guest.

Default Groups

All the users added in the /wiki/spaces/ZEE48/pages/56131631 application by the Test Manager in the /wiki/spaces/ZEE48/pages/56131639 are automatically in the QA group.
All users added in the /wiki/spaces/ZEE48/pages/56131587 tab of the Defects Admin application or via the /wiki/spaces/ZEE48/pages/56131633 are automatically in the Guest group.
 

 

Add/Deleting/Disabling Groups

Clicking on "Add" group allows the creation of a group by entering a Group Name. Various permissions can then be set for this group.
 
Selecting a group and clicking on "Delete" wipes out that group and moves all users in that group to the Guest group.
 
Disabling a group immediately puts all the users assigned to that group into the Disabled Status (see the /wiki/spaces/ZEE48/pages/56131587 tab).

Permissions

Three types of activities can be allowed or disallowed at a group level. By selecting the check boxes, users of that group can create defects, assign defects or change existing defects. All groups can search and view defects.
 
By default, all of these check boxes are selected for the QA group (full control) and all of them are unselected for the Guest group (view only).
