Set User Groups

Administration > Groups

Here administrators can manage groups of Redmine users.

Two user groups are predefined: Anonymous users and Nonmember users. These groups have limited permissions concerning Redmine Projects and Issues.

Nonmember users are all registered users (logged into Redmine) who are not added as Members to the project they are viewing. Anonymous users are all unregistered users. These two groups will see a project if it is not private.

Note: Adding users to groups simplifies managing user roles regarding Projects since a whole group can be added as a project Member with similar Roles to users.

Each group is shown in the list by its name and number of users. There is a filtering option by a keyword (e.g., group’s name).

When a user is added to a group, he automatically gets all group privileges (e.g., Roles in projects).
