User Group

A user group is a group of individuals that have access to the same roles and resources. User Groups can be created manually or synced from an active directory or can be bulk uploaded using a spreadsheet.

When you associate a role and resource with a user group, the users within that user group are granted all of the role's and resource's corresponding privileges and permissions.

You can associate roles and resources only with user groups

In the User group page, the following actions can be performed:

  • Create a User Group: Create a user group with basic information and associate Roles and Resources to it.

  • Modify a User Group: Modify a user group by adding, removing, or modifying the Roles and Resources on demand. The associated users of the user group will be reflected with the changes made to the user group.

  • Delete a User Group: Select the required user group and delete the same. You cannot delete a user group that has active users in it. Users belonging to the deleted user group cannot log into AppViewX.

  • Clone a User Group: The clone user group option allows you to create an exact copy of an existing user group with a different name. You can modify the roles and resources association while cloning a user group.

  • Enable a User Group: Enable the required user group.

  • Disable a User Group: Disable the required user group temporarily. You cannot disable a user group that has active users in it and users who are associated with a disabled user group cannot log in to AppViewX.

For detailed instructions to perform the above-mentioned actions, see Platform Userguide.
