User Group Assignment
In the AuditBLOOM system, user groups are an important tool for efficiently managing access rights and user responsibilities. Grouping users allows you to streamline the process of assigning roles, audit object access, and provides flexibility in managing personnel.
Why Use User Groups?
-
Simplifying Access Management: Instead of assigning rights and access to each user individually, you can set them once for the group and add users to it.
-
Easy Team Updates: If an employee joins or leaves the team, simply add or remove them from the group, and all relevant rights and access will be automatically updated.
-
Scalability: For large organizations with many users, groups help effectively manage access and roles.
-
Flexibility: Even if the group currently has just one user, creating a group allows you to easily add new users in the future, who will automatically receive all necessary rights. For example, when replacing a user who is on leave.
What Are Groups Assigned For?
-
Assigning Roles and Access Rights: Groups can be assigned specific roles and rights, which will be inherited by all members of that group.
-
Responsibility for Audit Objects: Groups can be made responsible for specific audit objects, automatically granting access to these objects to all members of the group.
-
Simplifying Settings: Instead of setting up each user individually, you can configure the group once and add users as needed.
Example of Using Groups
Imagine that your organization has a sales department responsible for several stores (audit objects). You can create a group called "Sales Department", assign roles and responsibilities for the relevant audit objects, and then, by adding employees to this group, they will automatically inherit all necessary rights and access.
Even if the department currently has only one employee, creating a group makes it easier to add new employees in the future without needing to configure each one individually.
Notes and Tips
-
Planning Structure: Before creating groups, think about your organization's structure and how best to group users.
-
Universality: If your organization has a complex structure, you can create groups for departments, teams, or projects.
-
Shared Access Rights: Assign access rights at the group level so that all members inherit them automatically.
-
Flexibility with Changes: If an employee changes departments or positions, they can easily be moved to another group, and their access rights will be automatically updated.
-
Documentation: It is recommended to add a description to groups to clarify their purpose.
