Add and Remove Members of a Group

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

You can add or remove users in a group definition when you are logged in as a Symphony system administrator or as a user who has been assigned to a group with group management privileges. You can add or delete users in a group at any time.

Management of the supplied Administrators group can only be performed by a member of that group or by a user in a group with all the following privileges: Administer Users, Administer Groups, and Administer Dashboards.

To add or remove members in a group:

  1. Log in as an administrator or a user who has been assigned to a group with group management privileges.

    If the user name you log in with is also associated with other Symphony accounts, verify that the correct account is selected. See Switch Accounts.

  2. Select the Users & Groups option from s the main menu. The Users and Groups page appears. It consists of two sections: Users and Groups.

  3. List the group definitions defined for the account. See List and Review Group Definitions.

  4. Select the group definition to which you want to add or remove members. The group definition editor appears on the right side of the page.
