User Groups

This section shows a list of user groups in PlatformManager (if you have the corresponding global permission assigned). There are some predefined system groups or you can create your own.

These are global groups; if you want to use them with a particular account, you need to create a group on the account level.

The following actions are available for user groups:

Create Group – Allows you to create a new user group. You have an option to create an AD Managed group: it is connected to a selected Pricefx Active Directory group and synchronizes with it. (Note that existing PlatformManager user groups can also be set as AD managed.) In PlatformManager you cannot add/remove users to/from AD managed groups.
Sync with AD – Allows the admins to synchronize with Pricefx Active Directory. If there is a user in an AD managed group but not in PlatformManager, this user is automatically created. (This synchronization also happens automatically at night or if a new AD managed group is created/edited and saved.)
Export CSV – Allows you to download the list of groups in the CSV format.

For each group, you can assign users to it and decide on the account/global permissions. Assigning permissions to user groups works similarly as for individual users.

Permissions – Allow user groups to perform operations for selected accounts or their partitions/integrations.
Global permissions – Allow user groups to perform admin operations (such as manage users, templates, global alerts) and provide access to the Overview sections (Accounts, Nodes, Servers, Partitions etc.).
