Group Memberships

A group is a set of portal users or other portal groups. Groups can be used to assign activity rights or access privileges. All of the members of the group will inherit the rights of the group.

The following groups are created upon installation:

• Administrators Group: This group provides full access to everything in the portal: all objects, all utilities, and all portal activities.

• Everyone: This group includes all portal users, whether created manually through the administration menu, imported from authentication sources, or created through the Create an Account page.

You can perform the following actions on this page:

1. Under Parent Group Memberships, click Add Group to display the Select Groups dialog box.
