Create User’s Role Group

As an admin of the application, you can setup more than one user accounts and can make these new user accounts part of the respective user's role group. You can assign different kinds of permissions to these groups as per the role of the user in it.

Permission to Use Admin Created Properties

a) Lists

Tick the checkboxes alongside the lists, to allow the group and ultimately the users in this group, to access the selected lists and data within the lists. These lists were earlier created by the admin account.

b) Segments 

In the recent product upgrades, Mumara segments have gone through from major updates, where the segments can now be saved and can directly be selected to send email campaigns (Like the Email Lists). Using this section, the admin allows the users in this user's group to use specific selected segments for sending campaigns.

c) Email Template Permission

The list includes both the predesigned readily available templates the Mumara offer by default, and also the templates that you have created  for your users/clients using "Create Email Templates" page. Email templates are precisely categorized under their respective groups for you to select conveniently. You can allow the users in user's group to use, one, multiple and even all email templates by ticking the checkboxes. 

Make sure that the users in this group have been allowed the permission to "Create Email Campaigns" and "Import Email Campaigns". Otherwise, they won't be able to work with the "Email Templates" you have allowed them to use.
