Modify Group Definitions

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

You can modify group definitions in a Symphony account 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.

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 modify a group definition:

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 froms the main menu. The Users and Groups page appears. It consists of two sections: Users and Groups.

3. Select Groups to see a list of all the group definitions that have been defined for the account.

4. Select the name of the group you want to modify in the list on the left side of the page. The group definition editor appears on the right side of the page.

5. Select the General tab to change the group name in the Group Name box. Optionally update the description of the group in the Description box.

6. Select the Members tab and assign and remove users in the group. See Add and Remove Members of a Group for more information.

7. Select the Privileges tab and update the privileges for the group. Privileges allow the administrator to grant permission to perform specific Symphony functions to all members of a group. See Group Privilege Reference for more information.

8. After members and privileges have been updated for the group, select Save to save the group.
