Assign users to groups

Depending on your installation/migration scenario and security configuration, you may already have the required users, and they may already be assigned to the correct groups.

To continue our example, we show how to create new users and assign them to the groups. Appropriate group membership automatically endows the user with the required role.

The following steps demonstrate how to create the necessary users and assign them to user groups in Data Visualization.

On the main navigation bar, click Gear the icon.
Select Users & Groups
In the Manage Users & Groups interface, click New User.
In the New User modal window, enter the following information:
- Name: John_Marketing
- Password: password of your choice.
- Permissions: Select Normal user.
- Under Groups tab, select Data Admin and Marketing.
Click Add to move these groups to the right column, and then click Save.

Note that in this process, we will not assign users to roles directly, but through the group membership only.

Repeat the previous steps to create new users and assign groups to them, according to the following information. This is a minimal set of users that 'populates' each role. We can have multiple users assigned to the same groups.

Table 1. Users and their group assignments
Role Name	Assigned groups
John_Marketing	Data_Admins Marketing
Kate_Marketing	Analysts Marketing
Lauren_Marketing	Visual_Consumers Marketing
Adele_Sales	Data_Admins Sales
Beyonce_Sales	Analysts Sales
Cher_Sales	Visual_Consumers Sales
Xuong_Operations	Data_Admins Operations
Yoneda_Operations	Analysts Operations
Zariski_Operations	Visual_Consumers Operations

After completing these steps, check the list of users, and notice that it shows the assigned roles. This is because we completed the group-role mapping already, as described in Assigning groups to roles.
