Groups
Groups in Visual Guard provide a powerful way to organize users and manage security more efficiently. Instead of assigning permissions to individual users, administrators can group users with similar responsibilities and apply roles, rights, or policies at the group level. This approach simplifies access management and reduces the complexity of maintaining permissions across multiple users.
By centralizing permission assignments through groups, organizations can ensure consistency and better align access rights with their organizational structure. Groups also make it easier to update permissions when responsibilities change, since administrators only need to modify the group configuration rather than updating each user individually.
In Visual Guard, groups can contain users, roles, or permissions, allowing administrators to manage security settings from a single location. The Groups page provides several actions that enable administrators to create, edit, and manage these groups efficiently, making it easier to maintain structured and scalable security management across the application.
