The level number, 1-99, determines the groups to which the user can send messages.
Users can only send messages to groups with a security level equal to or less than their MESSAGE.GROUP level. For example, a user with a MESSAGE.GROUP level of 50 can send messages to groups assigned a security level of 50 or lower, but cannot send messages to groups with a security level of 51 or higher.

Use the right-click Detail option to specify to message groups the users are allowed to make changes to. For more information, see Assigning Authorization Keys to Users.

To prohibit a user from viewing or editing message groups, do not assign that user the Message Group Maintenance menu program.
