Creating Authorization Groups

Groups are logical containers that serve as a mechanism to grant permissions to multiple users; members automatically share a group's permissions. Permissions are granted to groups (or all users), not individual users. Additionally, when a group is assigned a role, its members are automatically assigned the role.

To create a group:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Security > Authorization (Groups) > Groups > Create Group [button].
  2. Provide a name for the group.

    The name appears in the Default Permissions pane.

  3. Select an authorization realm.

    Groups are only valid for the selected realm.

Deployment Automation provides several default groups and users, which are listed in the following table. The default groups and users are part of the internal security authorization realm.
