Web Group Types

Web Groups are defined either by the system or an administrator.

System-Defined Web Groups

System-defined Web Group are preconfigured and required for successful Siebel Analytics Web operations. There are three types of system-defined Web Groups.

Everyone

By default, all users belong to the Everyone group.

Authenticated Users

When a user is authenticated by the Analytics server, the user automatically becomes a member of the Authenticated Users group. The Authenticated Users group is itself a member of the Everyone group.

Web Administrators

Members of the Web Administrators group are users who are Siebel Analytics Web administrators. The default member of this group is the Siebel Analytics Web Administrator. By default, only members of the Web Administrators group have access to administrative functions, but this can be changed by changing privilege assignments.

Administrator-Defined Web Groups

Administrator-Defined Web Groups are created by the Siebel Analytics Web administrator. You can create an unlimited number of Web Groups in Siebel Analytics Web.

The Web Groups that you define should be used to categorize users who require similar access to dashboards and content. You should plan your catalog folder structure and Web Groups together to create a coherent security model. For more information about catalog structure, see Administering the Siebel Analytics Web Catalog.

NOTE:  For organizations that have Siebel Analytics applications, preconfigured groups are set up with preconfigured responsibilities. For more information, see Siebel Analytics Installation and Configuration Guide.
