Add an existing group

Add or assign an existing group

1. Select Add Group located to the right of the View Groups grid.

   The Group Management window is displayed.

2. Enter the Domain Name and Group Name in the respective fields.

   The Group Name should be the same as it is mentioned in the Active Directory.

   Note: If the Local Group check box is selected, the Domain Name field is hidden.

3. Select the security Roles that apply to this group. Security role selections are accumulative – for example, selecting Readonly Operators and Report Users grants both roles to the group.

   Where applicable, the system automatically selects multiple security roles. For example, selecting Advanced Support Engineers automatically selects Support Engineers.

4. Select Save to add the group to AVEVA System Monitor.

   Once the group is added, the users under this group will have the roles that you have assigned for that group. If a user is in two groups, then the user will have the roles of both groups.

   The saved group information is displayed in the View Groups tab.
