Introduction to Master Administration › Distribute Responsibility of User Administration › Define a User Group

Define a User Group

You define a user group by giving a user administrator the authority to administer the group as shown in Authorizing a User to Administrate a Group in the chapter "Defining Administrators." A newly defined group has no users. The user administrator adds users to the group by defining each user and entering the name of the group in the Group name field in user or profile maintenance, as described in Adding or Modifying a User in the chapter "Performing User Maintenance." A user administrator can have authority to administer more than one group. Also, a group can have more than one user administrator. However, the simplest and most practical setup is to have one group per user administrator and one user administrator per group.
