Assigning roles to user groups

The following steps demonstrate how to add user groups to a role.

  1. Navigate to the Members tab of the Role Detail interface.

    The Require all groups option ensures that only members of ALL groups listed in the role membership fields have the role's defined access. It determines whether members must belong to all listed groups or any one of them to access the role's privileges.

  2. Click EDIT GROUP(S).

    The Role Assignment modal is displayed.

  3. There are several options to add groups to roles:
    Search and select existing groups
    1. Use the Search field to find groups by name.
    2. Select one or more groups from the filtered list.
    3. Click ADD to move them to the Selected groups list.
    4. Click APPLY.
    Add externally defined users (LDAP authentication)

    If you are using LDAP authentication, you can assign roles to groups who are not yet stored locally (for example, users who have not logged in).

    1. In the Groups text field, type the group name.

    2. Click Create to add the new group to the list.

    3. Repeat as needed.

    4. Click ADD, to move them to the Selected groups list.

    5. Click APPLY.
  4. Click APPLY.
    The Group name list is updated.
