Users, groups, and domains
Users, groups, and domains can be managed using tasks in either the Task Focused UI or the Standard UI. Changes made in one interface are immediately reflected in the other.
To create and administer users and groups, you must have administrative privileges.
- To access the
> Users and
Security > Users menu item in the Task Focused UI (or the
menu
item in Standard UI), you must have
Browse permission on any security domain or any user group. - To access the > Users and Security > Domains &
Groups menu item in the Task Focused UI
(or the menu item in the Standard UI), you must be a Super Administrator or a delegated administrator with any administrator
permission. For information about delegating and assigning administrator permissions, see Delegate administrator permissions.
- For information about the administrative permissions that are required for specific user-provisioning functions, see Types of administrator permissions.
Users and groups are organized under the following top-level groups:
- Security Domains
This group is a container for the security domain groups that are automatically created by the system when a business entity or sub-entity is added. You can use security domains to distribute your users and organizational groups so they can be administered by administrators with appropriate permissions. For an overview of security domains, see Security domains.
When you expand a security domain group, only child security domains are displayed. Any organizational groups and users associated with that security domain can be viewed only from the detail page of that security domain group.
To view organizational groups and users associated with a security domain, navigate to the detail page of that security domain group.
- Workflow, Reporting and Others
This group is a container for organizational groups that are used system-wide. Administrators often create organizational groups to organize users and other groups. You can define all your users and groups under the Workflow, Reporting and Others group, and later associate them to different security domains. For upgrade customers, this top-level group also includes the groups that existed in prior releases of OpenPages with Watson.
To navigate to a group detail page, you must be a super administrator or a delegated administrator of that group with at least Browse administrative permission. For information on delegating administrator permissions, see Delegate administrator permissions.
