  8. Under Groups, you can view all the permissions under this account for different prefixes. For example, from the figure above, shows permissions TWANG_DRAFTER, TWANG_PUBLISHER. This indicates that this account has both draft and publish permissions under 'TWANG' prefix. Groups DEMO_DRAFTER, DEMO_PUBLISHER means this account has draft and publish permission under 'DEMO' prefix.
  9. You can only edit groups/permission that's owned by you. For example, since this account owns both 'TWANG' and 'DEMO' prefixes, click on any of the permissions under these prefixes, a Group Information window will show up.
