# Flex administration

To open the Seascape Flex administration page click on the gear icon in the top right corner.

The administration page allows you to create groups and users, or import existing groups and users from the Active Directory:

To create a new group, click on the **Create Group** button.

You can always edit the settings for groups or delete groups you no longer need using the action icons shown to the right of the groups:

Here is the Create group popup where you can enter the name and the description of the group, and assign a **user role** for all of the group's members.

There are three user roles with corresponding application permissions sets (not to be confused with Notes application roles):

* Administrator - for managing users and groups
* Archive Manager - for managing database access
* User - default permission automatically assigned to every group

To create a new user, switch to the **Users** tab and click on the **Create user** button:

To import an AD group or user, click on the **Import AD group** or **Import AD user** button and log in with your AD credentials.

After you log in, you will be provided with options for importing groups and users into Seascape Flex.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.swingsoftware.com/seascape-for-notes/seascape-flex/flex-administration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
