The User Groups Linked zone lists the user groups that currently have a link to the application service. Note that expired links are included when the zone is first displayed. Use the zone filters to exclude expired links and to limit the user groups shown by user ID, user group ID, and user group description.

User Group - Users page for the adjacent user group. This allows you to add or remove users linked to the user group.
• Click the Deny Access action to remove the Application Service's link to the selected user groups in the zone results.
The User Groups not Linked zone lists the user groups that do not have a link to the application service. Use the zone filters to limit the user groups shown by user ID, user group ID, and user group description.
The following actions are available:

Description link in the zone results to navigate to the
User Group - Users page for the adjacent user group.
