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.

Creating User Groups

Follow the Organization Diagram of the company and the group of individuals who will be working with the INUBIT Workbench. In the hierarchy pyramid, proceed from top to bottom.

User group names have to be unique. If a user group or a user with the same name already exists, an error message is displayed. Usernames and user group names are not case-sensitive, that is, upper/lower case is not taken into account.

Proceed as follows

  1. In the INUBIT Workbench display the Administration > User Manager tab.

  2. Select the group in which the new user group should be created.

  3. Open the context menu and select New User Group. A dialog opens.

  4. Enter the name of the new user group.

  5. Optionally, add an e-mail address.

  6. Optionally, add a comment.

  7. Click OK to close the dialog.

→ The new user group appears in the user group directory tree.

Renaming and Moving User Groups

Existing user groups may be moved, their names and possible existing comments may be changed.
