How to add new user groups in the the latest version

[vishakha]

Hello I’m using egroupware’s latest version with archive installation.
Is there a way to add user group via code or any other option. I read that it’s been taken out years ago, just wondering if there’s a workaround for it

Hi Vishakha.

I am not sure…
If you have access to the group repo, try copying/fetching the group app via wget (…) into your EGroupware directory and then installing it via setup.

You should still consider using an EGroupware standard installation on your own server. This is certainly better for EGroupware operation.

I have written about this:

I will update the article in the coming week. I am giving a lecture on this…

I wasn’t able to see the credentials after submitting monthly user statistics.
This is the article I followed since the other two are for docker, being a community edition user with archive installation

Hi Stefan, just checking if there’s some another way of obtaining credentials , I tried the steps in the above article, but couldn’t get through

Hi @StefanU Stefan, I’m stuck because of the credentials, can you please help

[StefanU]

I wasn’t able to see the credentials after submitting monthly user statistics.

I hope you have checked/tried this in your old system.
The one that already existed at the time of 1.8…

Is there a way to get them again ?

[vishakha]

It’s really imperative for us to get the user group, currently it’s a blocker for us right now. If you can suggest the best solution for getting the credentials we can get started with importing the library.

If you are a long time user, tell me in an PN your installation ID. We can then see if we can find your installation in the database.

ID. We can then see if we can find your installation

Yeah we are a long time user, any chance we can find the installation id somewhere in the egroupware db or setup ?
