Groups

A Group is a higher level classification for putting user IDs in the same category. You can use a Group to correspond with the natural structure of your organization. There is no single entry in CA‑PanAPT files for a Group. CA‑PanAPT stores information about Groups under Activities, Approvals, and User IDs.

You can authorize a Group or several groups to perform CA‑PanAPT functions. The Group name is any combination of characters and can be up to eight characters long. When adding a user ID, you can assign up to five different groups to that user ID.

If a Group is given authorization to perform certain CA‑PanAPT functions, every user who is a member of that Group is given authorization for those functions.

Note: CA‑PanAPT does not validate the Group names when they are entered. The user must make sure that all spellings are correct.

CA‑PanAPT provides a report that lists members in a Group and the activities members of a Group can perform.
