	Opendium systems have a powerful grouping mechanism which is configured on the ''Users & Groups'' page. Groups are organised into a tree, with the root being the ''Everyone'' group and users, networks and individual computers are assigned to one or more of the groups. This allows global settings to be set in the ''Everyone'' group and overridden or augmented by additional settings further down the tree. For example, you could configure the ''Everyone'' group to disallow access to online gaming websites, and this would apply to all users. You could then augment this by specifying that everyone in the ''Students'' subgroup also cannot access social networking websites except at lunch times. Please refer to the [[Group Inheritance]] knowledgebase article for more in depth information about how group inheritance works.

Opendium systems have a powerful grouping mechanism which is configured on the Users and Groups page. Groups are organised into a tree, with the root being the ''Everyone'' group and users, networks and individual computers are assigned to one or more of the groups. This allows global settings to be set in the ''Everyone'' group and overridden or augmented by additional settings further down the tree. For example, you could configure the ''Everyone'' group to disallow access to online gaming websites, and this would apply to all users. You could then augment this by specifying that everyone in the ''Students'' subgroup also cannot access social networking websites except at lunch times. Please refer to the [[Group Inheritance]] knowledgebase article for more in depth information about how group inheritance works.

On the Users and Groups page, the group tree is shown on the left panel. Clicking a group selects it and updates the right panel to show its contents. The contents of a group is divided into two groups: objects shown in black are direct members of the selected group, whereas objects shown in grey are members of a subgroup.

The ''Create'' buttons in the toolbox can be used to create groups, users and networks within the currently selected group. Right clicking an object will pop up a menu allowing you to edit various settings for that user / network / group, or delete it. If your Opendium system is integrated into a Windows network it is not responsible for authenticating the users, so any password changes should be made in Active Directory rather than on your Opendium system.
