User Groups for the Other Domains, Application Areas, and Work Areas

You may be able to use the user groups described in this example as standard user groups for all Domains, Application Areas, Quality Control Work Areas and Production Work Areas. Even the users in the user groups may be the same in some cases—especially in groups intended for Programmers and Data Managers.

You can copy user group definitions in two ways:

• Copy just the definition, including the name, description, and assigned roles.
• Copy all of the above plus all the users assigned to the user group, with their role assignments.

For example, the same simple, two-role Domain user group structure may be appropriate for all your Domains. In this case, you have the following choices:

• If exactly the same people should have access to two Domains, with the same roles in each Domain, you can assign the same user group to both Domains.
• If most of the same people should have access to two Domains, with the same roles in each Domain, you can copy the first Domain user group you create, including the users assigned to the group. You assign it to the second Domain and the Group Administrator can then make any necessary changes to users and users' role assignments.
• If different people should have access to two Domains, you can copy the first Domain user group you create, using the option to not include any of the users. You can assign it to the second Domain. The Group Administrator then assigns users to roles within the group.

If the user group definition itself needs to be different from other Domains, you can define an entirely new user group or copy an existing one and make any necessary changes.
