3.5.2.4 Create custom groups

You can create custom groups to cater to specific tasks within the application.

While seeded groups support a broader range of application and scenarios, custom groups enable the precise grouping of users for targeted and specialized application usage.

Example: You can create a user group which assigns the role of uploading files. This way you have a dedicated user or a standalone user that is not accessing the application but is just ingesting data.

You can create new groups using the following:

1. PBSM Admin Console
2. IDCS
   When you create new groups in PBSM Admin Console, you can have them sync with IDCS automatically or create groups separately in PBSM Admin Console and IDCS. To automatically sync with IDCS, select the Enable Group Sync option on the Configurations page of PBSM Admin Console.
   After creating the group, assign the required permissions to it and add the roles. For information, see Creating a New User Group.
