As an Administrator Advanced Web Stats allows you to grant access to your employees or your customers in the application or to view reports. You can easily do this by creating Users and Groups.
When creating users, you can choose from three levels of access, each one with its own permissions:
-
Administrator - This of user will have the same administrative rights as you have, but it will not be able to change your password. This user can create profiles, administrate users and groups, manage filters, logs, change settings or scheduled tasks.
-
User - This type of user has permissions to edit settings for profiles and view reports. The "User" access level does not have permission to create new profiles.
-
Viewer - This type of user has permission only to view reports. The "Viewer" access level does not have permission to create profiles or edit settings for profiles.

If you set the access level for an user "Administrator", that user will be automatically assigned to the "Administrators" group. |
By default you can assign an user to the "Administrators" or "Users" groups. The users belonging to these two groups have access to all profiles and can edit the settings for all profiles.
But if you want to create a new user and configure profile access to specific profiles you should follow the steps below:
-
Create a new User Group.
-
Create a new User, set the access level and assign the user to the group created earlier.
-
Configure the profile access.

When you want to configure access level to specific profiles it is important to create the Group first and then create the User. This helps you to give access to a specific group of users to a limited number of profile, specified by you. |
First you need to create an user group before creating your user and configuring profile access. This will help you to easily grant them access to specific profiles assigned to this group.
To create a group, follow the steps outlined below:
-
Go to [Users & Groups] > [Group Manager] and select [Create a new user group].
-
Type a name and a description for you group so you can easily identify it in the [Group Manager] menu.
-
Finally click on the [Create a new user group] button.
