Query-based Collections, also known as Set Groups, are logical bundles of Sets. Sets are nothing but queries made against the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse that result in collections of people or resources. Therefore Set Groups are sets grouped together with a friendly name for resource management.
Set Groups offer advantages over groups and roles as they can contain any type of resources. These are continuously evaluated to ensure they contain the appropriate resources. Set Groups can be used as actors as well as be the recipients of EmpowerID policies for provisioning, deprovisioning, attribute assignment, password policies, etc.
