5. Configure User Group Details:
   • Group Name: Enter a name for the user group (e.g., "Administrators", "Moderators").

Additional Tips:

• Create Custom User Groups:
  • You can create custom user groups with specific permissions tailored to your store's needs.
• Regularly Review and Update Permissions:
  • Periodically review and update user permissions to ensure they align with your business requirements.
• Be Cautious with Admin Permissions:

• Keep a Record of Permissions:
  • Maintain a record of which user groups have access to certain areas and functionalities for reference.

Remember to save your settings after making any changes. This will ensure that the user permissions are set up correctly for your CS-Cart store.
