Push Notifications Security Permissions

Use the Push Group Management option in the Mobile & Tablet Manager to manage security permissions for sending notification messages to iSAMS mobile apps. Configure permissions so that only selected users and groups can send and authorise notifications.

1. Either:
   
   • Open the iSAMS Control Panel and select the Mobile & Tablet Manager applet.
     or
   • Select Mobile & Tablet Manager from the module bar if the applet has been configured to display here.

2. Open the Notifications tab and select Push Group Management from the right hand menu:
   

   Push Group Management displays all of the current security groups (showing Group Name and Group Description) and an overview of each group's properties:

   Column	Property
   Groups	The number of user groups included in the security group.
   Users	The number of users included in the security group.
   	Outbound notifications can be sent by the security group.
   	Messages can be delivered without authorisation.
   	Messages require authorisation before being delivered.
   	The security group is currently active and users can compile messages.
   	The security group is inactive and users cannot compile messages. You may prefer to make a group inactive rather than delete it.
   	Click to edit the group.
   	Click to delete the group. You may prefer to make a group inactive rather than delete it.

   A default security group is set up for you, this is always shown at the bottom of the security group list. This includes all iSAMS groups and users.

3. Choose to:
   • Create a new security group. Set up a group of users who have permission to both compile and authorise messages. Choose to create as many groups as you need.
   • Change the order that security groups are listed. The order that groups are listed determines the group permissions that are applied to a user listed in more than one group.
   • Edit an existing security group. You may want to change the default group so that users and groups cannot compile and authorise messages.
   • Delete an existing security group.
