Creating groups in drift management to support multitenancy

Enable drift management to support multitenancy without using Change Management and Incident Management by creating a group to represent each company. Use AR System access control groups to use in conjunction with drift management. 

If you need more detailed information about creating AR System groups, see AR System: Creating users, groups, and roles in AR System online documentation.

The groups you create here are in addition to the default groups provided with drift management. For information about default groups, see Drift Management permission groups.

To create groups to use with drift management

1. Log in to Mid Tier as an administrator.
2. On the Mid Tier, select AR System Administration > AR System Administration Console > Application > Users / Groups / Roles > Groups.
3. To create a new group, click New Request.

4. Enter information for the following fields:

   Field	Description
   Group Name	Name of the access control group. Use this name in the Group list field in the User form and the Permission and No Permission lists when you define object permissions. Every group name should be different. For example, if you want to create a group that represents a company, you could use the company name in Group Name.
   Group ID	Integer ID that uniquely identifies the group. Select an ID within the range of 1000-14999. If you use the same ID with multiple group names, you must also use the same group type for each name because you are creating aliases for the same group.
   Group Type	Maximum permission type intended for the group: None (no access) View (view field contents) Change (modify field contents). For drift management, select View or Change.
   Long Group Name	Additional information about a group.
   Group Category	The AR System group category, such as Regular, Dynamic, or Computed. For drift management, select Regular.

5. Save your changes.
6. Open the User form and assign users to the group that you created.
