Overwrite All Previous Access Rights

Sometimes there are occasions when is might be good to start again from the beginning with the access rights in a structure. Maybe you have changed the names of your groups and want to delete the old information and start with the new instead. To avoid doing this in two stages, by first deleting all the groups and then adding the new ones, there is an option that allows you to do this in one go.

1. Select Set Access Rights on the Admin tab. The tree structure is displayed in the lower section of the window.
2. Select the page in the tree structure in which you want to delete groups and add new ones. When the page is highlighted, the name of the page is formatted with a dark gray background.
3. Those groups and individuals that have access rights to the highlighted page are shown with the most recently saved access rights above the structure. Select the group(s) you want to keep by clicking on the green tick on the far right.
4. Select the Add selected rows and delete unselected rows check box.
5. Select the Apply settings for sub pages check box if you want to add and delete groups on all sub pages. If you do not select this, you will only add/delete it from the highlighted page.
6. Click Save.

The groups that are highlighted, with the selected access rights, will be saved on the current page and its sub pages if this check box was selected. All the unselected groups will be deleted. In the example below the Administrators will be saved on the highlighted page and all its sub pages. Everyone will be removed from the highlighted page and all its subpages.
