User groups

DataMiner users are part of one or more groups. Groups can be granted rights according to three concepts: permissions, views and access levels. Users in those groups simply inherit the rights granted to the groups of which they are a member. User settings can also be configured at group level.

There are two types of groups:

  • Local groups: Proprietary user groups, created and managed in DataMiner.

  • Domain groups: User groups available in the Windows domain, managed by the domain administrator.

Note

Optionally, a user who is a member of a group can be granted a personal access level. That level will then override the access level granted to the group.
