Creating a local user group

Admins can assign admin role membership to groups which users can inherit by being members of those groups. However, users can only be assigned a single role membership so admins must be aware when assigning users to groups with admin roles.

Note: If a user is assigned to multiple groups with different admin roles, their profile will display an error due to the admin role conflicts.

Steps

  1. Navigate to IAM > Users and Groups.
  2. To create a local group, click the green plus icon at the top of the Groups section.


    Add Group dialog box opens.



  3. Enter a Name for the group.
  4. To create the group, click Create.
  5. Search the group you just created and click it to edit the group members details.
    Edit Group page opens.
  6. Select the applicable admin role that you wish to assign to that group from the Members Admin Role drop-down list.
  7. To add users to the group, follow one of way:
    • To add individual users to the group, click the green plus icon next to respective user name.
    • To add multiple users to the group at once, select the applicable users check boxes and then click the green arrow to move them over to the Member section.

  8. To save the changes, click Save.


    If you go back to the Users and Groups page and select the user in question to view their user details, you will see a new table pop up to identify their Group Membership and the admin role assigned to them based on that membership.
