Introduction

Groups are containers that help you manage access, policy, and compliance across your organization. You can create, disable, and enable these containers in NowSecure Platform to have hierarchies that can be used with NowSecure Role-based Access Controls (RBAC). You must have the Admin role within NowSecure Platform to make changes such as creating or disabling a group.

Add a Group

1. From the Admin page, in the left navigation menu, select Groups.
   
   1. The groups table displays the Group Name, the number of users in the group, the number of apps in the group and the status of the group (enabled/disabled). You can also select the notification bell to configure notification settings for the group. For more information on notifications, see Platform Notifications. 
2. To add a new group, in the top right, click Add Group.
3. In the Add Group dialog box, in the Group Name field, enter a name for the group.
   
   1. By default, the Add me to this group checkbox is selected for you to add yourself to the group. Deselect this checkbox if you do not want to be added to the new group.
   2. Click Save.
   3. The new group displays and is enabled by default.

Disable and Enable a Group

By default, when you create a group, the group status is set to Enabled. You can disable a group, but note that if you do, any user within the disabled group will no longer have access to NowSecure Platform if it is the only group they are in. For a user within a disabled group to gain access again to NowSecure Platform, the user will need to contact their admin to enable the group.

2. In the row for the desired group, in the Status column, select the toggle to change the status to Enabled/Disabled.
