Modifying Admin Groups and Roles
To modify an admin group:
1. From the **Administration** tab, select the **Administrators** tab -> **Groups** tab -> *admin_group* checkbox, and then click the Edit icon.
2. The *Admin* *Group* editor provides the following tabs from which you can modify data:
- **General**: You can modify the following data.
- **Name:** Modify the name of the admin group.
- **Comment:** Enter useful information about the group, such as location or department.
- **Disable:** Select this to retain an inactivated profile for this admin group in the configuration. For example, you may want to define a profile for recently hired administrators who have not yet started work. Then when they do start, you simply need to clear this checkbox to activate the profile.
- **Roles**: Modify the data as described in [About Admin Groups](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MAG8/pages/911343829/About+Admin+Groups).
- **Extensible** **Attributes**: Add and delete extensible attributes that are associated with the admin group. You can also modify the values of the extensible attributes. For information, see [*About Extensible Attributes*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MAG8/pages/912293964/About+Extensible+Attributes)*.*

Viewing Admin Groups
You can view the list of admin groups that are currently in the Master Grid. To view admin groups, from the **Administration** tab, select the **Administrators** tab -> **Groups** tab.
Multi-Grid Manager displays the following information:
- **Name**: The name of the admin group.
- **Superuser**: Indicates whether the admin accounts that you assign to this group have full authority to view and configure all types of data. The value can be **Yes** or **No**.
- **Comment**: The information about the admin group.
You can select the additional fields, **Disabled** and **Site**, for display. You can also do the following:
- Sort the data in ascending or descending order by column.
- Use filters and the **Go****to** function to narrow down the list. With the autocomplete feature, you can just enter the first few characters of an object name in the **Go****to** field and select the object from the possible matches.
- Create a quick filter to save frequently used filter criteria. For information, see [*Using Quick Filters*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MAG8/pages/912162947/Finding+and+Restoring+Data#%5BinlineExtension%5DUsing-Quick-Filters)*.*
- Modify some of the data in the table. Double click a row of data, and either edit the data in the field or select an item from a drop-down list. Note that some fields are read-only. For more information about this feature, see [*Modifying Data in Tables*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MAG8/pages/912359882/Working+with+Tables#%5BinlineExtension%5DModifying-Data-in-Tables)*.*
