Groups in BMC Remedy AR System

Access control groups are collections of BMC Remedy AR System users. A user gains access to an object, a field, or a request if a group the user is in has access, or a role mapped to such a group has access. Notifications also can use groups. For example, you can designate an entire group to be notified in a filter action.

BMC Remedy AR System includes a Public group and eight other special groups that are essential for access control within the system. You can define additional groups based on a common profile and assign access accordingly. For example, you might create a Sales group and allow members to view the status of a request but not to change it. A group can also be a general category, such as Browsers. For information about adding groups, see Creating and managing groups.
