User Groups

This guide will take you through everything related to the management of User Groups in Keystash. User Groups allow you to organize users into logical collections that can be assigned permissions and Linux groups collectively, simplifying the management of access rights across your servers.

Info

User Groups in Keystash are designed to help you manage permissions for multiple users simultaneously. These groups can be assigned specific permission levels and Linux groups, which are then inherited by all members of the group.

The User Group Management page allows you to view, create, edit, and delete user groups.

  1. Click "User Management" on the menu and then "User Groups".

  2. You will see a list of all existing user groups in your Keystash account.
