<h2>Troubleshooting:</h2>
<br /><strong>Why are some user icons indented in the User Administrator area?</strong>
<div id="id"><br /><img border="0" width="520" src="images/articles/image303.gif" height="171" /></div>
<br /><strong>A:</strong> If you are in the administration area and you click on a username, you will see an area that says "reports to". When you first add users to HyperOffice, they start of "unassigned". After you have changed a user in the admin area (like set their password or something), then they become assigned or report to a user. The default user they report to is the Postmaster. You can change this, or leave it as is, but the indents will reflect that. The users still in a straight line have not been assigned to report to anyone yet. They don't get assigned until you actually make a change to the user. They start out unassigned until you hit the "commit changes" button.<br /><br /><strong>Where is the group administration on this page?</strong><br /><strong>A:</strong>Group administration is located in a different area of HyperOffice. This administration area is for the Portal level only. If you need to change group settings, you should click on Groups &gt; Group Memberships &gt; Administrator.
