Managing project-level groups

Overview

User creation must be performed by an instance administrator but, with the correct privileges, project administrators can create project-level groups and add users to groups. Project administrators can also add groups to other groups. After a group is created, the group details can be edited and group members can be added or removed as needed.

Note: Project administrators can only modify groups that exist at the project level. Project administrators can use groups that exist at the instance level, but cannot modify instance-level groups.

Project-level groups are managed using the Groups tab in the Project Administration Console. When you open the Groups tab, the groups are displayed in the leftmost panel, and the group details are displayed in the rightmost panel.

Note: The Groups tab in the Project Administration Console displays all project-level groups for this project, and all instance-level groups. Project administrators with the right privileges can create, modify, and delete project-level groups from the Project Administration Console. However, project administrators cannot create, modify, or delete instance-level groups from the Project Administration Console.

The Groups tab looks like this:


Understanding the Groups Tab

The Groups tab is accessible from both the Instance Administration Console and the Project Administration Console, but your ability to perform certain operations differs slightly depending on whether you are an instance administrator or a project administrator.

The left side of the Groups tab provides you with a table containing the following columns of information about each group:

After you select a group from the table, the group details are displayed on the right side of the page, including the list of group members. The group members are displayed in a table with the following columns of information about each member:
