Managing Person Groups Rather than Persons
To facilitate management, instead of managing persons individually, you can manage them by person group.
Example: the group of auditors.
Configuration does not take place at the person level but at the group level.
Persons belonging to a group:
• depend on the same environment.
• share the same connection characteristics defined on the login of the group.
• connect to the application with their login, but with access rights defined on the login of the group.
• share the assignments defined for the group.
A person belonging to a group can only connect in the name of the group (the assignments defined for the persons are ignored).
A person can belong to one or more groups.
You can:
• connect a person to a person group, individually, directly on creation of the person.
• connect more than one person to a person group simultaneously:
A user group is a group of persons with a login.
For each environment, a user group has:
• personal characteristics defined by its person group.
• access rights to product functions and repositories of the environment, defined by its login.
