Groups

Here you will find complete group administration within your domain.

Groups allow you to aggregate users or other groups into a single object to simplify the configuration of shared settings. For example, you can assign permissions to a group, which will then be inherited by all objects within that group. Each group can contain 0 to N objects and can also be a member of 0 to N other groups. A group may include users or groups from a different domain.

Main actions:

• Edit Group – allows you to modify the parameters of an existing group
• Delete Group – allows you to delete an existing group

Buttons:

• Create Group – opens a modal window for creating a new group
• Group Membership – opens a modal window to assign the currently selected group into other groups
• Members of Group – opens a modal window to assign users and groups into the currently selected group
• Change SCADA Permissions – opens a modal window to assign SCADA permissions for the currently selected group
