Concept: GroupGroups of users

A group is used to collect users usually representing organisational structures. For example you might have a group called "HR" which contains all the staff members who are part of the human resources department. This would, for example, allow various areas to be secured for HR use only, and as staff change in the department these settings would not need to be changed. Groups are used in areas such as security ACLs, workflow tasks, etc. As well as containing users, groups can also contain other groups. A group "Management", might contain the groups "Executive management" and "Middle management". This would produce a group which contains both the users from the executive management and the middle management teams. As the middle management group is updated so the members of the management group is automatically updated. |
