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
   When you create a custom group in the PBSM Admin Console, you must also create the same group in the IDCS Admin Console and add the user to it for the group assignment to persist in PBSM across logins.
2. IDCS Admin Console
   When you create a new group in IDCS Admin Console and map it to a user, this will automatically create the group in the application after the login.
   After creating the group, assign the required permissions to it and add the roles. For information, see Creating a New User Group.
