Add a Custom Group

On the toolbar, 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 in a tab.

Note: In general, groups are in the foundation repository. If you have custom repositories, you can create groups in those repositories too.
On the Members tab, 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 tab.

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 by clicking the General tab and then clicking Accounts. See Logins for Groups.
Save the new group.

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