The User Groups tab allows you to add, modify, and delete user groups that can access BMC TrueSight IT Data Analytics. You can create a group containing multiple users.

User groups form the basis of enabling role-based user authorization at both the feature-level and data-level. This means you can restrict access to particular features (tabs) in the product, by assigning roles to user groups. Also, while creating data collectors, you can assign user groups to restrict access to the data collected. For more information, see Managing user authentication.
