Group Profiles

There are many reasons to use group profiles:

It is easy to give new group members the necessary authorizations. Rights required by all members of the group can be given just once to the group. New members automatically have the required rights.
It is easy to add or change authorizations for all the members. Alterations to the rights required by all members of the group can be made just once for the group. All members then automatically have the new rights.
Common resources can be shared. For example, a project team working on the same objects can all manage the objects.
It makes the operational associations and responsibilities clear. The OS/400 cross-referencing tools can be used to document departmental associations.
