Creating and Managing User Groups

You can create User Groups and add Permission Policies to them. User Groups are very useful for controlling access to your Organization when you want to set up a number of people with the same Permission Policies assigned to them. For example, you might have a Billing Operations team and you want to restrict the access of all members of this team to performing certain billing operations when working in your Organization. You can then:

• Create a Permission Policy which allows the required range of Billing resource access.

• Create a new Billing User Group and add this Permission Policy to it.

• Add each team member to the Billing User Group.

• Do not assign any Permission Policies to any Billing Operations team member.
