Add an administrator account to a group
When you add an administrator account to one or more groups, you can manage role permissions at a group level instead
of at an individual level. If you use groups to manage administrator roles and administrator accounts in your organization's
environment, you can add multiple administrator accounts to specific groups and assign the appropriate roles to each
group.
Note: If you add a role to a group, all accounts in the group become administrator accounts and have all of the permissions
that are assigned to that role, even if the accounts are user accounts for BlackBerry device users.
