Security Groups

A group is a set of users who share a common purpose.

Groups may perform tasks such as approving change requests, resolving incidents, receiving email notifications, or performing work order tasks. Any business rules, assignment rules, system roles, or attributes that refer to the group apply to all group members automatically. Users with the SYSTEM: Allow User Management role can create and edit groups.
