Add a User to a Group

A group is simply a collection of users together under a specific name, for example, Human Resources. When you create a user, you automatically add it to a group, but a user can be a member of an infinite number of groups.

After being added to a group, a user will inherit any administrative entitlements that the group already has.

When you add a user to a group, you are merely including the user's name as a member of the group. It is important to note that by simply adding a user to a group, you are NOT necessary, adding the user or group to a role. For example, if the role definition is Group=X and the users are placed in group X, they will satisfy that role. If the role is Group X and Session Property = Y, they may or may not satisfy the role.

For information about mapping users and groups of users to administrative roles, see Overview of Roles. You can add a user to a group two different ways:

To add user(s) to a single group:

  1. In the Users and Groups Resource tree, select the group to which you want to add a user.
  2. Select the Add Users tab.
  3. Type the user's name in the Login ID field and click Search. To select multiple users, click a letter in the Quick Search field. Selected users appear in the Select box.
  4. Click the check box next to each user to select it, and click Select Users. Selected users now appear in the Edit box.
  5. Click the Add User(s) to Group button.

To add user(s) to multiple groups:

  1. Find the user you want to remove.
  2. Click Edit Profile Values.
  3. Select the Edit Group Memberships tab. Groups to which the user belongs are listed.
  4. Click Add User to More Groups.
  5. In the User Group Resource tree, click Add to the right of the appropriate groups. Selected groups will appear in the Editor pane to the right.
  6. Click the Add User to Group(s) button.
