Groups
A group refers to a collection of users within Grafieks Cloud, who share similar roles, permissions, or access rights. In Grafieks, groups are typically created to streamline permission management and collaboration.
Key aspects of user groups:
-
Access Control and Permissions: User groups allow administrators to define and manage access rights for a group of users at once. For example, instead of assigning permissions individually, you can assign them to a group, and all members of the group inherit those permissions.
-
Role Management: In most of the organizations, user groups are often created based on job roles or departments (e.g., "Sales Team," "Analysts," "Managers"). Each group may have specific rights, such as access to certain reports or data sets.
-
Collaboration and Communication: User groups facilitate easier collaboration by bringing together users with common goals or tasks. For instance, a "Project Team" user group can be set up for team members working on a specific project, making it easier for them to access shared dashboards, or data sources.
-
Simplified Administration: Managing users through groups reduces the complexity of system administration. Instead of managing permissions and access for individual users, administrators can make changes to user groups, and the changes automatically apply to all members.
