Access level options for administrators
In your application development and production environments, you can provide different levels of access for administrators. The Overlay Group option on the Group Information Form, provides the following access options:
- Overlay Group field set to
1
When a group assigned to the user has the Overlay Group field set to1
, the user is restricted to working on overlay and custom mode objects. In BMC Remedy Developer Studio, the user can work only in Best Practice Customization mode. - Overlay Group field set to
0
When a group assigned to the user has the Overlay Group field set to0
, the user is restricted to working on base mode objects. In BMC Remedy Developer Studio, the user can work only in Base Developer mode. Overlay Group field set to
999999999
When a group assigned to the user has the Overlay Group field set to
999999999
, the user is restricted from creating, modifying, deleting, and importing objects. The user can only read and export objects from all layers.- Overlay Group set to (
clear
)
When the Overlay Group is set to (clear
) the Group provides no restrictions on access to base, overlay, or custom objects. For more information about Overlay Groups, see Creating groups.
When you assign a user to a group with Overlay Groups set to1
, you must also assign the user to the Struct Admin or Struct Subadmin group. For more information, see Groups in BMC Remedy AR System and Operations on objects restricted by development mode.

Hi, one important thing not described above: what Group ID should we use for the new group "Struct Admin Permissions"? Should it be a specific Group ID or can it be any unused Group ID (outside of the reserved group IDs) ?
Hello Carlos,
I will discuss your question with the SME and will get back to you shortly.

Hello Carlos,
You can specify the Group ID which is not used by any other group, and which is outside of the range of BMC reserved Group IDs.
We have updated this topic accordingly.
Thanks,
