Managing User Groups
As the system administrator you are able to create any number of user groups. As a rule, one user group forms one organization unit, for example a company or department.
A group directory is created for each user group on the INUBIT Process Engine, which the users of the same group may utilize as a directory for common objects (modules, workflows).
Multi-client capability
Groups can be structured hierarchically, which means that a group may be a subgroup of exactly one other group. The nesting depth is unlimited. This allows managing multiple clients within one INUBIT installation.
The collaboration with different organizations is guaranteed by means of a higher-level user group directory. Different organizations can use this directory to exchange modules and diagrams that may be relevant in their collaboration.
