Subscriber Groups

A group is a collection of subscribers. Subscribing groups to channels makes subscription management easier, which allows convenient delivery of information to group members who share a common interest, such as members of an accounting group or a development staff. When a group is subscribed to a channel, each group member who has a defined subscriber entry in the publishing framework receives information that is published to that channel.

Only the administrator has the authority to add members to or remove members from a group. The administrator is also responsible for subscribing groups to and removing group subscriptions (unsubscribing) from a channel using the Integration Technologies Administrator. Integration Technologies Administrator is a Java application for creating and modifying LDAP definitions for objects, such as group subscriptions, that SAS Integration Technologies uses.
