Managing groups

Groups are collections of users. In kdb Insights Enterprise they are associated with an entitlement. Users who become members of a group inherit the attributes, data entitlements and role mappings of that group.

Creating groups

UI CLI

1. Log into the administration console.
2. Choose the target realm ($REALM_NAME) from the top-left realm drop-down.
3. Click Groups in the menu.
4. Click Create group.
5. Enter the details for the new group.
6. Click Create.

Warning

Ensure you select the correct realm ($REALM_NAME) as the UI defaults to the Master realm on login.

Use kxi group to create a new group.

kxi group create $GROUPNAME

Replace the following:

• $GROUPNAME: name for the new group.
