Users Group Tab

Use this tab to view the groups to which the user is assigned and to add or remove user from a group.

Groups are used to assign access control to data. A group usually represents major programs or projects within an organization, or functional groups, such as the project management office. You assign users to groups, which you then assign access control to data objects (such as projects) within the applications. Users can have different roles within a group. Using groups simplifes managing access control. If a user is added or removed from a program, you can change the group and the user will have access to all of the data objects for which the group has access.

A user can belong to many groups. To add a user to group, click + Assign Group at the bottom of the grid. To remove a user from a group, click X to the right of the grid. For more information about filtering, exporting, and expanding to full screen, see Working with Grids.
