The “+” / “–” column is used to collapse and expand user groups. If there is a “+” or “–” in this column, it
indicates the item is a Group Name. If there is a “–” in front of the Group Name, it indicates that the group
has been “expanded” and all of the User Names within that group are displayed below the Group Name. If
there is a “+” in front of the Group Name, it indicates that the group has been “collapsed” and all of the User
Names within that group are hidden. To collapse or expand a group, highlight the “+” / “–” column in front of
the desired group and press the button.
Highlighting a Group Name and pressing the button allows you to change the authority levels assigned to
the group.

that user. You can also change the group to which the user is assigned.
The “ ” column can be used to delete a User Name or an entire Group. If the “ ” is grayed out, that Group
or User cannot be deleted. Highlight the “ ” and press the button. You will be asked to confirm that you
want to delete the User or Group. To delete the User currently logged into the recorder on a local system or a
PC running RAS, log the user out of the system first and then delete the user.
To add a Group, highlight the “+ Group…” box and press the button. A virtual keyboard appears allowing
you to enter the Group name. You can use up to 15 characters including spaces in the group name. Enter the
