# 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:

![](/files/-MlB44I5uI-QGhG55pFw)

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:

![](/files/-MlB491vvM6KdK910i6d)

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:

![](/files/-MlB4FEc3TsKRjqloJKW)

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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
