Assign Security Groups

Use Cases:

This feature is particularly useful for managing memberships, contact lists, or accounts where groups of users need to be granted access to specific content or permissions efficiently.

Bulk Assignment:

Users from the selected sources are assigned to the target Security Group in bulk. If a user already has the target Security Group, they are skipped to avoid duplication.

Source and Target Panels:

The interface is divided into a Source panel (where you select Contact Lists, Security Groups, or Accounts as the source of users) and an Assign panel (where you select the Target Security Group to assign users to).

System Security Rights Validation:

Before saving, Affino checks if the target Security Group has any System Security Rights and warns the administrator with a modal popup listing those rights, ensuring awareness of the access level being granted.

User Notifications:

When the scheduled task runs, a message is displayed on the screen indicating the process is underway, and an email is sent upon completion to confirm the assignment.

Scheduled Task for Large Assignments:

If more than 100 contacts are involved, the assignment process runs as a scheduled task to prevent timeouts and performance issues. Users are notified by email once the task completes.
