[Anthill-pro] Is there a difference between the admin user and auser in the admin group?

[Steve Boone]

Peter,


If you click onto the System Tab, and click the Agents link, and then click
into a specific agent, you will see a security tab.  You can set permissions
for agents there.  You can also do it by clicking on the System Tab, and
then the permissions link.  From there you can select the permissions by
resource type tab, and choose agents.

Let me know if this does not get you down the correct path.

Cheers
Steve
