Creating groups

You use groups to grant basic permissions to users. You may find that you want to create a group of each type for a particular purpose.

About this task

For example, you might create four groups with Analysts in the names and use these groups to define the basic database management permissions and, optionally, access to commands, access to data, and grouping of folder objects for analysts.

All groups have users as members. A particular user can be a member of any number of groups, of any type. The user gains the permissions that are defined for all the groups in which they are a member.

Procedure

  1. Select Security > Security Manager > Groups, and expand the group type.
  2. Click New.
