19.0 Creating User Groups

Rather than assign roles to individual users, you can create user groups and assign roles to the user groups. Users who are added to a group inherit the group’s roles.

User group roles are cumulative. If you add a user to a group, the user retains its directly assigned roles and also gains the roles inherited from the group.

As with users, there are two types of user groups: System and Organization. A System group can be assigned system-level roles (Approver, Build Administrator, Catalog Manager, Cloud Administrator, and Zone Administrator) and organization-level roles (Business Group Viewer, Business Service Owner, Organization Manager, and Sponsor). An Organization user group can be assigned organization-level roles only.

You can create user groups by manually entering information or by importing information from your LDAP authentication source.
