When managing teamwork project as an administrator, assigning large amount of users to a project involves a lot of repeated steps, and takes time. Starting from VP Suite 3.4 Service Pack 1, you can create unlimited number of user groups and assign it to a project, which grants the same permissions to all users whole belong to the group. One user can belong to more then one user group. This flexibility makes it much easier for managing teamwork project with a large number of users.

1. Login to the web interface of the server. For users who are using the standalone (non-web) version of Teamwork Server, login by visting: http://<server-ip>:<port>/vpteamwork/. If you did not reconfigure the port before, the number should be 1999.
   
2. Visit the Users page.
   
3. If the server is newly installed, and have no user account exists, you can setup new accounts by clicking on the Add User button.
   
4. Enter the name, password as well as the permission for this user.
   
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 to create user accounts for the other team members.
   
6. The user accounts are all created. Let's create a Programmer user group. Click on the Add User Group button in the same page.
   
7. Input the group name – Programmer.
   
8. Select the users who belong to this group. Selected user will share the same access right of project. We will talk more about this later on.
   
9. John and peter are selected as Programmer. Press the ">" button to add them into this group.
   
   
   This is how the page should look like when users are added to the group.
   
10. Click on the Add User Group button. You will be redirected to the Users main page.
    
11. Now, change the Projects settings. Visit the Projects page.
    
12. Again, if the server is newly installed, add project by pressing Add Project.
    
13. Specify basic project information such as the name, description and the source of project.
    
14. In the Project Users section, select the users and/or user groups that can manage this project. The user groups are indicated by the text "User Group".
    
15. Assign "Read" or "Read and Update" right for the selected user or user group by clicking on the corresponding button.
    
    
    This is how the page should look like when users or user groups are assigned to the project.
    
16. Click Add Project to confirm the changes. You will be redirected to the Projects main page.
    
    
    Server configuration done. Users or users in groups can now checkout project from server and start managing it if they are granted with sufficient read/update rights.
