Query-based Collections 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, Query-based Collections, also known as Set Groups are sets grouped together with a friendly name for resource management.
Set Groups offer following advantages over groups and roles:
Set Groups can contain any type of resources.
Set Groups are continuously evaluated to ensure they contain the appropriate resources.
Set Groups can be used as actors
Set Groups can be recipients of EmpowerID policies for provisioning, deprovisioning, attribute assignment, password policies, etc.
