Groups
A group () is a collection of users and other groups. You typically create groups to more easily manage permissions common to several users in the database.
Group Settings
The Settings window for a group shows:
•
Database. The label of the database that the group belongs to.
•
Name. The name of the group.
•
Display Name. An alternative name used for display purposes.
•
Group Members. The users, and other groups, in the database that are members of the group.
Clicking the Save button () saves the display name and the group members for the group.
Group Members
Click Add to find a user, or another group, in the database to add as a member to the current group. In the Search dialog box, type a name or display name for users and groups and click the Search button. Select users and groups in the search result table and click OK.
Select users and groups in the Group Memberships list and click Remove to remove group members from the group.
Click the Save button () to save any changed group members to the database.
Group membership is transitive: if a user is a member of a group, which in turn is a member of another group, the user is considered a member of the latter group as well.
