Managing security subsets

As an administrator, you can customize information about the security subsets. Security subsets determine the groups of security preferences that a user can be assigned to.

  1. Click Manage Security Subsets in the vertical menu to view and edit the security subsets for your site.

    The following fields are available for security subsets:
