What are groups for?
Users can be arranged in groups to make controlling access to your archives and workflows easier.
The Everyone and Registered Users groups are system default groups and cannot be deleted or modified.
Each user in FotoWeb is a member of both the Everyone and Registered Users groups, except for users with guest access, who are not considered registered users.

Default groups in Fotoware Veloz
For convenience, three groups exist from the start in Fotoware Veloz. When creating additional groups, these can be added to one of the three existing groups to apply basic permissions in the system.
All three groups have the Editor license assigned to them. However, their group permissions vary, making them suitable for different usage scenarios.
Learn more about how licenses and group membership combine to give users the correct permissions.
