Security Group

Overview

The purpose of a Security Group is to restrict the content that users can see throughout the application. For example, if a security group is created that specifies that a particular user will be able to see all information for Institution 001, then that user will only be able to view the information in Institution 001. Conversely, a Security Group may be created to specify that selected users cannot access a selected dimension.
A security group is composed of Security Group Restriction(s) and Users assigned to it. Users may be indirectly assigned to a Security Group via their User Role, or directly related to the Security Group.
Only a ‘Super User’ or ‘Administrator User’ can create Security Groups.
