Creating Groups of Users and Working with Them

To create groups of users, use the Groups section on the navigation panel.

Groups of users are system security subjects, which main purpose is to combine several users under a single account to gain unified control of access permissions of these users. The members of the groups becomes users and other groups, created in Forersight Analytics Platform, domain groups and users.

Specific access permissions can be specified as for the group as for the individual user. In this case the permissions are implemented for all group members (domain and built-in users or groups) and used as an extension of their personal permissions. Permissions of any system user include their own permissions as well as permissions of all groups, to which this user belongs.

The system has two built-in groups: administrators and users.
