What are User Groups?
User groups are collections of users that share similar responsibilities or access requirements. Instead of setting permissions individually for each user, you can:- Create groups based on roles (e.g., “Traders”, “Admins”, “Viewers”)
- Assign permissions to the entire group
- Add or remove users from groups as needed
- Maintain consistent access controls across your organization

Best Practices
Group Organization
- Role-Based Groups: Create groups based on job functions rather than departments
- Principle of Least Privilege: Grant only the minimum permissions needed
- Regular Reviews: Periodically review group memberships and permissions
- Clear Naming: Use descriptive names that clearly indicate the group’s purpose
Permission Management
- Consistent Policies: Ensure group permissions align with your organization’s policies
- Documentation: Maintain records of what each group can access and why
- Change Management: Have a process for requesting and approving permission changes
- Backup Access: Ensure multiple people can perform critical functions
Group permissions are additive - if a user belongs to multiple groups, they
receive the combined permissions of all groups.
