Groups

The Groups Management is a central component in the system’s Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in the CDM-Server. It enables administrators to create, edit, view, and delete Groups—the critical link between users and roles. By assigning users to groups, and then associating those groups with roles, you can efficiently manage permissions across the organization without needing to configure each user individually.

How Groups integrate with RBAC

Groups act as a bridge between users and roles. By defining permissions at the group level, administrators can simplify access control, making it easier to manage permissions for multiple users at once.

Typical Workflow

• Create a Group: Define a new group and specify its purpose (e.g., “Project Managers” or “Quality Assurance”).
• Assign Users: Add users to the group who need similar access levels.
• Associate Roles: Link the group to specific roles that define permissions.
• Review and Adjust: Regularly view and update group memberships and role associations as team compositions change.
