Enabling access for multiple groups

You can enable access for multiple groups.

Before you begin

Ensure that your system administrator grants you the ACI Modify at the operation level and Access Options at the permission level in the ACI configuration.

If the Enable Access and Disable Access buttons are not visible, configure the view. As an administrator, go to User View > Admin Console > Manage Services > Manage Groups on Service. Define access for the logged in user.
