Users, groups, and domains

To create and administer users and groups, you must have administrative privileges.

• To access the > Users and Security > Users menu item, you must have Browse permission on any security domain or any user group.
• To access the > Users and Security > Domains & Groups menu item, you must be a Super Administrator or a delegated administrator with any administrator permission. For information about delegating and assigning administrator permissions, see Delegate administrator permissions.
• For information about the administrative permissions that are required for specific user-provisioning functions, see Types of administrator permissions.

Users and groups are organized under the following top-level groups:

• Security Domains

  This group is a container for the security domain groups that are automatically created by the system when a business entity or sub-entity is added. You can use security domains to distribute your users and organizational groups so they can be administered by administrators with appropriate permissions. For an overview of security domains, see Security domains.

  When you expand a security domain group folder, only child security domains are displayed. To view the organizational groups and users that are associated with the security domain, click the security domain group.

• Workflow, Reporting and Others

  This group is a container for organizational groups that are used system-wide. For example, the OPAdministrators group is listed under the special group Workflow, Reporting and Others > Standalone Users and Groups. The OPAdministrators group is created automatically at installation and members of the group are automatically granted special privileges.

  Administrators often create organizational groups to organize users and other groups. You can define all your users and groups under the Workflow, Reporting and Others group, and later associate them to different security domains. For upgrade customers, this top-level group also includes the groups that existed in prior releases of OpenPages with Watson.

  To navigate to a group's details page, you must be a super administrator or a delegated administrator of that group with at least Browse administrative permission. For information on delegating administrator permissions, see Delegate administrator permissions.
