Users and groups are organized under the following top-level groups:

Entity Group icon Security Domains - this group is a container for the security domain groups that are automatically CREATED by the system when a business entity or sub-entity is added. You can use security domains to distribute your users and organizational groups so they can be administered by DELEGATED administrators. For an overview of security domains, see Security domains.

Group icon Workflow, Reporting and Others - this group is a container for organizational groups that are used system-wide. Administrators often create organizational groups to ORGANIZE users and other groups. You can define all your users and groups under the Workflow, Reporting and Others group, and later associate them to different security domains. For upgrade customers, this top-level group also includes the groups that existed in prior releases of OpenPages GRC Platform.

To create and ADMINISTER users and groups, you must have administrative privileges. For information about delegating and assigning administrator PERMISSIONS, see The Super Administrator.

When a user or group is disassociated from an organizational or security domain group, and that user or group is not a direct or indirect member of any other group, the system makes that user or group a member of a special group called Standalone Users and Groups. Only the Super Administrator has administrative access to this group.
