Managing roles using groups
Use the Groups page to add roles to a group.
Assigning roles to groups allows you to:
-
Manage roles for multiple users at once.
-
Apply role changes in bulk.
-
See users that have a certain role by viewing group members.
For security reasons, only static groups can have roles assigned to them. That is, you can’t assign roles to groups that have members included based on a filter or rule. With a dynamic group, you might inadvertently add users to the group that would inherit role assignments. For more information, see Static and dynamic groups.
When adding users to groups that have roles assigned, be careful not to inadvertently assign a role to a user by adding them to a group. If a user has a role from being in a group, remove the user from the group to remove the role. If a user has a role assigned to them individually, you can remove the role from the user.
