Feature overview

Goals

The aim of the User Groups Management feature is to allow the organization of Users into User Groups in order to simplify the assignment and management of Access Rights.

Technical Prerequisites

This feature does not require any specific technical integrations for standard operation.

While no direct dependencies apply in typical scenarios, additional integrations or configurations may be necessary depending on the customer's infrastructure, business processes, or regulatory environment.

Functionality of the feature

In CMP, User Groups are used to organize Users, making access management more efficient. Instead of assigning Access Rights to individual Users, rights are assigned to the User Group, these Group Rights apply to all Users in the group.

User Groups are also used to define roles within the system. Each User Group represents a specific role or function, and the associated Group Rights determine what actions Users in that role can perform.
