A security group has one or more members and determines which application functions its members are allowed to perform. A security group member must be an existing V-Suite user. If you have not yet identified which users are allowed to sign into V-Suite users, do so first via the User application.

You can edit an existing security group via the Entitlement application. The Entitlement Application can be accessed via the System Administration icon on the V-Suite home page.



In the security group table, select the security group you wish to edit and click the Edit icon in the Action column. This displays the Edit Security Group form which lets you modify the following:

  • Security Group properties
  • Security Group permissions
  • Security Group members

Security Group Properties

A security group has the following properties:

  • Group Name - The name of the security group. This field is required and must be unique.
  • Description - The description of the security group. This field is optional and may be left blank.

You can change the security group properties of a custom security group but you cannot change the properties of a system defined security group.

Security Group Permissions

A security group has one or more application permissions. Click the Permissions Tab to define the application permissions for the security group. The Permissions Tab displays all supported V-Suite applications. For each application, you will be presented with one or more application permissions. Select the application functions that members of the security group are permitted to perform.

You can change the security group permissions of a custom security group but you cannot change the permissions of a system defined security group.

Security Group Members 

A security group has one or more members. Click the Users Tab to modify members of a security group.

To add a user, enter the name of the user in the Assign Users text-box. A dropdown is populated with user names of users whose first name, last name or username starts with the string you entered.


The selected username is added to the text box. You may continue entering users in the text box or click the Add button to add the selected users to the security group.

To remove a user from the security group, select the user in the table and click the Delete icon in the Action column. 

Information

The system defined "System Administrators" security group must always have at least one member to ensure that at least one user can perform system administration tasks. Removing a member (user) from a security group will not remove the user from the system, the user remains a valid user but is no longer a member of the security group.


Click the Save button on the top of the form to commit the changes to the security group.
