Add a Custom Group

In the Users Module, click and select New Group.
In the New Group window, enter a name. A display name and repository are optional. Then, click Save. The new group object opens to the Basic Properties page.

Note: In general, groups are in the foundation repository. If you have custom repositories, you can create groups in those repositories too.
From the drop-down menu, select Members. On the Members page, click to directly assign members to the new group.
If you want to make the new group a member of other groups or roles, use the Member of page.

Note: The ability to nest group dependencies is limited. Suppose you make a group a member of another group. As soon as a branch in the tree returns to an item that is previously listed at any point in the branch, SAS Environment Manager stops the nested dependencies in order to avoid an infinite loop. For example, suppose you have three groups named Group1, Group2, and Group3. If Group1 is a member of Group2 and Group2 is a member of Group3, then you cannot make Group3 a member of both Group1 and Group2.
If you are using this group to make a shared account available, add a shared login on the Accounts page. See Logins for Groups.
Save the new group.

Note: Do not use the settings in any of the Authorization: pages to modify authorizations for a user. The settings on these pages have no effect on what the user can do.
