Configuring the feature

With the Additional Layer Filters feature enabled, you just need to make sure the setting to enable 'User Group Filtering' is on.

  1. Navigate to Advanced Content → Layers.
  2. Edit an existing Layer, or Add New Layer
  3. Scroll to the User Groups section.
  4. Click Add User Group (or if you haven't yet created your group, click 'Maintain User Groups' and follow the steps above for "Creating a User Group").

  5. A dropdown list will appear, containing all existing Groups. Select the one you require.
  6. Consider the setting "Layer active for all user groups excluding the ones listed above" - tick this if you want the group(s) you just added to act as an exclude (rather than include).
  7. Click Save & Exit (if you were creating a brand new layer, first scroll back up and enter required Layer info such as Name, Description, Authentication Status).

  1. Navigate to Users → User Groups. 
  2. We'll assume you've already created your group (if not, follow the steps above for Creating a User Group. Find your group in the list and click Users. 

Import - Can add based on email address, or even UserID (if you get this data from Analytics, for instance). CSV will accept either/both.
