Mapping Groups to Business Roles and Locations
EmpowerID allows you to create a mapping between Business Roles and Locations and groups. In this way, you can quickly assign all members of a specific group to a Business Role and Location. Then whenever someone is added to a group, that person is automatically assigned to the mapped Business Role and Location, receiving any RETs or Policy-Based Attribute Values assigned to the Business Role and Location.
Prerequisites
EmpowerID must be connected to an external directory with groups, such as Active Directory.
