Administering security groups in Maximo Application Suite in 9.1

Note: Starting in Maximo® Application Suite 9.1, you can manage users and assign security groups to users in suite security. For information about managing users and user access in Maximo Application Suite 9.0 and earlier, see Administering users and user access in Maximo Application Suite in 9.0 and earlier.

To manage users and security groups in Maximo Manage 9.0 and earlier, see Managing users and groups.

Starting in Maximo Application Suite 9.1, you can provide authorization to suite applications, actions, and data to a group of users by using security groups. Security groups are used to control user access to applications, data, and actions by grouping users and assigning permissions.

Security groups can provide broad authorizations to many applications, or you can take a modular approach by adding users to multiple groups that grant fewer access privileges. You can specify different levels of authorization, which can be a combination of read, insert, save and delete, or all levels.
