Applying Security to Objects and Outputs

In order to view or perform any other operation on an object, a user must belong to a user group assigned to the object. Objects automatically inherit the user group assignments of their immediate container.

Therefore, by default, any object you create has the same user group assignments as its immediate container (Work Area, Application Area, Domain, Report Set or Workflow).

If you have the necessary privileges you can accept these default assignments or explicitly de-assign any of the user groups assigned to your object. You can also add other user group assignments. The changes you make will be inherited by objects contained by your object, if any.

• Assigning User Groups to an Object
  To assign a new user group:
