Overview

A group organizes several users and makes assignment of permissions easier. For example, folder permissions and packages address book entries can be applied to groups rather than individual users.

Users who are normal Members of a group have all the permissions held by that group. GroupAdmins are users who have been promoted to assist with the management of the group (such as adding/deleting users) and Limited Members typically have only a few of the group attributes. The complete list of group members can be viewed from a Group Profile or by using the "In Group" drop-down filter on the main USERS page.

Display profiles and some default user settings can be applied to groups. A custom announcement that normally appears on members' Home pages and a custom logo that will appear on all members' pages can also be applied to groups. If the "External Authentication" feature has been enabled, MOVEit Transfer can automatically replicate some or all of its user group membership information from an associated LDAP server.
