Groups
A group decides which inbounds its clients get. Instead of choosing inbounds for each client, you put clients in a group and change the group once. This page covers what a group is, the group form, and how groups combine with the inbounds a client was created with.
How groups decide access
- A client in one or more groups gets the inbounds of all its groups together.
- A client in no group keeps the inbounds it was created with.
- A group can list chosen inbounds, or include All inbounds, including ones added later. The second kind picks up every new inbound by itself.
- A disabled group gives no inbounds to its clients.
Groups only add inbounds. They do not change a client's traffic, end date or device limit, which stay on the client.
The list
The Groups page shows one row per group: its name, a Disabled tag if it is off, All inbounds or the number of inbounds, and the number of clients. The client count is a link to the Clients list filtered by that group.
Tick rows for the bulk bar: Enable, Disable and Delete. The pencil edits a group; the bin deletes it.
Create or edit a group
Press Create group.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | The group's name. |
| Note | Free text for you. |
| Inbounds | The switch All inbounds, including ones added later, or a list of inbounds to tick. |
| Enabled | Off keeps the group but stops it giving inbounds. |
Put clients in a group
- In the client form, the Groups field assigns the groups when you create or edit one client.
- In the Clients list, tick several clients, choose Groups, pick a group, choose Add to or Remove from, and press Apply.
- When you create an inbound, its Access section lists the groups that will get it.
Delete a group
Deleting asks for confirmation. Clients lose the inbounds that only this group gave them. A client left in no group gets back the inbounds it was created with.
Groups and resellers
A role can be set so that its accounts may assign only certain groups, or must always put clients in a group. That is how an owner limits what a reseller can hand out. See Roles and resellers.
