Guide to create Groups after creating the new User in Sage Enterprise Intelligence (SEI)

By | September 18, 2023

In SEI, when we create Users, it is strongly recommended to create Groups to maintain the security based on these groups instead of an individual user. Rather than solely relying on individual user permissions, a strategic approach involves organizing users into groups with shared access levels. This practice not only simplifies administration but also strengthens the overall security framework.

We have already seen how to create Users, here we would see how can we create Groups.

You can create as many groups as required and a user can be in multiple groups:

  • In the Administration section, click on the Security drop-down menu in the left pane.
  • Select Groups.
  • A list of groups will be displayed with the main information for each group.
  • The bottom section will display the users that are Members in the selected groups.

  • Create a New Group
  • In the upper left hand corner, click on Insert.
  • Fill out the following fields.

Note:

Refer to Users for detailed descriptions of the following items: Default Data Model Role, Display Level, and Edit Level.

Combination Option:

  • When entering the same combination option in two different groups, the users that are part of both groups will have merged authorizations (Group 1 OR Group 2).
  • The combination option can be any string. Different or Blank combination options will use the AND operator for determining authorization.

Description: Write a description of the group.

Create: Click on Create to finish the creation of a new group.

This method offers several advantages over individual user-based security. By creating multiple groups and associating users with them, administrators can efficiently manage and control access rights. By embracing group-based security, organizations can strengthen their overall security posture and promote effective access control across various system functionalities.
