A user group is a type of entity that defines a group of users who
share common properties and privileges. By becoming member of a group, a user
automatically inherits all the properties of the group. A user can be a member of
multiple user groups. User groups can also be nested.
Benefits of user groups
Since all the users that are part of the user
group automatically inherit all the properties of that group, this simplifies the
configuration of users on large systems.
Administrators user group
The Administrators user group is a
system entity that is created during installation. It cannot be deleted or renamed. Members
of this user group are also known as system administrators. They have the same
administrative rights as the Admin user, and their rights cannot be revoked.BEST PRACTICE: For reasons of traceability, rather than letting everyone use the same
Admin account, it is best to create a separate user account for each
administrator.
