The User Groups component is used to maintain user groups. The system administrator uses it to set up the work environment for end-users.
In this component, users working in the same application are assigned to the same user group.
It does not matter who actually defined a query in a user group. Every user assigned to the user group is able to execute the query.
Users in a user group need to have the necessary authorizations before they are able to change or redefine a query.
Users are not allowed to modify queries from other user groups, although they may, under certain circumstances, copy and execute them (see
Copying Queries).Every user in a system can be assigned to several user groups.
As of Release 4.6C, user assignment is also available using roles.
