Asset Basics
WebGUI uses four types of assets: container assets, regular assets, SKUs and utility assets.
Users and Groups
Group management in WebGUI allows you to control access to very specific sections of your website. Users are assigned to a group, and then that group is assigned viewing or editing rights to a page or asset. This is often used on subscription sites where paying subscribers are able to access content on a site that is otherwise not visible to the average visitor. You are probably familiar with this concept from the “Security” tab of add/edit asset screens. The “Who can View” field determines the group of users who may view a given asset. The group management feature is accessed through the Admin Console. Clicking on “Groups” will open the group management screen.
