Groups
Groups are used to group users who need to access to the same projects and other data.
Groups are an efficient way to assign access control to data. They typically correspond to major programs or functional groups such as the Project Management Office. Each project allows you to add one or more groups to the access control grid. If a user is no longer on the project, you simply remove that user from the group they no longer have access to those projects, resources, calendars, etc where that group was provided access.
There is a special group called WORLD that automatically means all users in the system. This is an easy way to give all users access to a template or standard calendar. You are unable to add or remove users from the WORLD group because it automatically already has all users. You can disable the WORLD group on the Settings tab of the Security form.
PM Compass uses a special group called PMC_CHANGEMGT_ADMIN. Any user in this group can edit data in the workflow form or in the Change Details view as long as the user has access to the project, the workflow step is In Review or the workflow has not yet been started. Users in this group can only edit data. They cannot advance the workflow.
