About user groups
A user group is a set of users in Automation Director who share the same level of access. User groups
are used in combination with service groups to manage a user's level of access. A user must belong to at
least one user group and can belong to multiple groups. You can use the predefined user groups, or
create a new user group. User groups can be created by an administrator in the
Admin
role with the user
management privilege.
The built-in user groups that are automatically created when Automation Director is installed cannot be
modified. Although other built-in user groups that correspond to the roles of the other Automation Director
products are created with them, a user can use only the following user groups.
