Manage User Groups

Fordefi's User Groups feature is most useful when applying policies to new users. Once you have defined a policy rule for a certain user group, any additional user you add to the group is subject to the same policy.

• A user does not have to be in any group.
• A user can belong to more than one group.
• An API User can also be part of a user group.

You can create user groups, rename them, and edit them.

To see a list of all the user groups:

In the side menu, click User Management and then click the Groups tab.

Quorum approvals

The admin quorum is not notified about the creation of an empty group, only about the addition of users to the group. When the required number of admins approve the new or edited user group members, the user group is added or updated in Fordefi.

You can edit the name and list of users in a user group.

Here's how to edit a group:
