Use

You can assign a group of users to different folders, objects, or even entire areas. Once created, a user group is available in any collaboration in the collaborative or competitive scenario.

You need authorization to be able to create user groups. The role SAP_CFX_USERGROUP_CREATOR gives you this authorization. (In the  Settings Roles menu, you can check which roles were assigned to you.) You require the role SAP_CFX_USERGROUP_DELETOR to delete user groups.

You can define access authorization to a user group. Anyone with write authorization or higher can edit a user group. A user must have at least read authorization to use a user group. By selecting User Groups in the overview tree, you will see the list of user groups where you have at least read authorization.

User Groups can contain other user groups as well as users so that user groups can be structured hierarchically. Therefore, user groups can reflect your organization structures.

If you want to give authorization for an object to a user group, all users of a selected group and the user groups contained are assigned the selected level of authorization.
