Groups are collections of users that can be used as vehicles to grant access to user accounts belonging to them.the collections of users. If the group has any entitlements or access assigned to it, that access is given to each added account.

For example, if you have a group with a policy that specifies that members of that group have a home folder, each account added to the group will be given a home folder.

Type of group created depends upon the type of account store selected for the creation location. For example, if the account store is an Azure AD tenant, available types include Office 365 group and Security Global, whereas if the account store is Active Directory, available types include Distribution Domain Local, Distribution Universal, Security Domain Local, Security Global, and Security Universal.

EmpowerID provides two methods for creating groups, the Create Group Simple method and the Create Group Advanced method. If minimal information is needed, use the Create Group Simple method for fewer fields and options. If you need to input more information or configure more properties for the group, use the Create Group Advanced method.

To create a group you can follow below steps:

  1. In the navigation sidebar, expand Identity Administration and click Groups.

  2. From the Actions pane, click Create Group.
