Add a FactoryTalk user group

Create a new
FactoryTalk
 user group to administer security permissions for specified users as a group. Change the memberships of a user account to quickly change the resources a user can access.
A
FactoryTalk
 user group can contain:
  • Windows-linked user group accounts
  • LDAP-linked user group accounts
  • Cloud-based authentication group accounts
  • FactoryTalk
     user accounts
  • Windows
    -linked user accounts
Use
New User Group
 to add a
FactoryTalk
 user group account to the
FactoryTalk Directory
 that is separate from a
Windows
 user group account. Then specify the group account's identity (for example, the name of the group) and the user accounts that are members of the group. Delete a user group when a particular group account is no longer needed to manage a group of users.
