Use SMS Group Management to set up and manage groups of iSAMS users with security privileges and apply a sender identity. This gives more control over the use of SMS messages sent from iSAMS.
A 'Default Security Group' is created by iSAMS Support which includes all users. Any new groups you create work in a top down method, filtering through the groups listed in SMS Group Management.
For example, if you create a security group for 'Training' staff any privileges set for the group override the privileges held for users in this group in the 'Default Security Group'. You could configure the 'Default Security Group' so that all messages require authorisation and configure the 'Training' group so that messages sent by anyone from this group do not require authorisation.
You may prefer to make the Default Security Group inactive.
To open the SMS Group Management:
- Select the iSAMS Control Panel from the left hand menu.
