Create a Group

A group is simply a collection of users. When you first create a group, you create an empty group to which you can add an infinite number of users. You can then classify the users in the group by mapping the group to an entitlement role or a content segment.

You can also create groups inside of groups, thus creating sub-groups that inherit properties from the parent group. For more information about group hierarchy, see the Overview of Group Hierarchy.

Note: Users can be members of more than one group.

You can create a group by two methods:

Method 1:

1. In the User-Groups Resource tree, select a parent group. To create a group at the top level, select All Groups.
2. Right click, and select Add User Group.
3. Click OK.

Method 2:

1. In the User Group Resource tree, select a parent group. To create a group at the top level, select All Groups.
2. Click the Create Group icon in the top right toolbar.
3. Enter the name of the group in the pop-up window, and click OK.

You can now perform the following tasks in your new groups:

• Add users to your new group. See Add Users to a Group.
• Map your group to a Delegated Administration role. See Add Group to a Role.
