• The Group screen (see Section 18.3 on page 244) provides a summary of all user groups. In addition,
this screen allows you to add, edit, and remove user groups. User groups may consist of access users
and other user groups. You cannot put admin users in user groups
•The Setting screen (see Section 18.4 on page 246) controls default settings, login settings, lockout
settings, and other user settings for the NXC. You can also use this screen to specify when users must
