Groups define the functionality a user has for permission to view and perform within AudienceView. For example, a group specifies whether a user can create, modify or delete an item in the application, what pages he or she can view, and so on. Groups and roles work together to define a user’s experience with the application. For example, for users to sell tickets, they must be given access to the event (by means of their role) and access to selling functionality (by means of their group). For more information on roles, refer to Application Security - Roles.

Hint To help plan out your groups before you create them, download and use the groups worksheet. |
The following sections describe how to work with groups:
•Group Permissions
Defines which actions a group can perform
•Group Filters
In addition, filters can be used to restrict which records a group can search for and open.
•Group Attributes
Control the fields that are displayed to the group. For example, expose or disable a field on a page, set default values, and so on.
•Group Search Filters
Search filters can be used to restrict which records a group can search for and open when using New Business Intelligence and the TSsearchBO.
•Group Content
Enables you to prevent groups from viewing certain areas of the application. This is generally done to prevent groups from viewing icons or tabs for areas of the application which they do not have permission to use.

Information Some permissions affect each other, so consider your users’ needs carefully. For example, to give a user's group permission to modify an existing bundle you must also give the user's group permission to search for existing bundles. |
If a user belongs to multiple groups with different levels of permission, users are again granted the combined permission.
The Security by Group Report enables you to view the attributes, content, permissions or users for selected groups. You can use this report to view a group’s settings at a glance.
