User Groups overview

Custom user groups allow you to build teams in APEX AIOps Incident Management with your users as members. After you create your groups, you can:

  • Assign roles to groups to simplify user permission management

  • Map SSO groups to groups in Incident Management

  • Filter incidents and alerts by user groups

  • Create logical groups of Incident Management users to use for alert and incident assignments

See Manage user groups for information on using groups.

The User Groups page

To view the list of groups in your namespace, navigate to Settings > User Groups.

A list of groups with their associated member counts and descriptions displays. Depending on your permissions, you can view, delete and open individual groups to edit their configurations.

The following information is available for user groups:

  • Name

  • Description

  • Group Role

    The role permissions assigned to the group. This may be a default role, a custom role, or none.

  • Member Count

    The number of members in the group.

    Note

    This number may not be accurate if the group is populated via SSO.

  • SSO

    Indicates if the group membership is controlled by SSO. If SSO is not enabled, this column will always be blank. When SSO is enabled for Incident Management, this column displays Mapped for user groups managed by SSO, or blank for groups managed locally.

Group members

Groups can contain any number of members, including none (for use with SSO).

Group roles

Important notes about group roles:
  • Group roles let you add the permissions for a default or custom role to all of the members of a user group.

  • The permissions associated with the group role are inherited by the group members and are added to any permissions already assigned to them.

  • A user's role assignment defines the minimum permission for that user. Groups can only add to a user's role-based permissions; you cannot add a user to a group to remove permissions.
