Managing Your Groups5 min read

On the Groups page in the User Management module, you can create and manage logically related groups of users, as well as import groups, such as your company Active Directory groups.

If the enterprise has varied and distinct Bot requirements for various departments or lines of business, creating groups, adding developers and assigning bots to the groups would be the recommended option. You can create a custom group of users, for example, by geographical location, department title, or common interest.

Groups are automatically created when you import organizational units using Active Directory.

The following illustration is an example of the Groups page in the User Management module.

Details

To sort the list of column values, click the Arrow Up  icon or Arrow Down  icon to the right of a column name.

The following list describes the columns displayed in the Groups listing.

Using the Search Field

The list of entries in an admin console table can be very large depending on the size of your company. To find one or more specific users or groups, in the Search field, enter at least three characters to begin find-as-you-type.

To view all entries, clear the search field, and then press the Enter key.
