Creating and Managing Groups › Group Management

Group Management

The Groups feature is a powerful tool that lets administrators organize data and control who can view it. When a performance issue is reported, the permission groups that are assigned to user accounts let operators effectively analyze data in a logical flow. They can drill down from averaged managed item data from all managed items to information about a single item in the same time frame.

The groups that you create, and the structure that contains them are key requirements for optimizing CA Performance Center. We recommend consulting with a CA technical representative to develop a strategy for assigning permission groups that meets your requirements.

Start working with groups on the Manage Groups page. This page displays the Groups tree in the left pane. The tabbed options in the right pane give access to group Items, Properties, and Rules. To populate and edit groups, use the options on these tabs.
