Instead of assigning permissions or roles individually, administrators can manage access at the group level — making user management more efficient and scalable. Groups are especially useful in large teams where members need the same set of permissions. **Components of a Group:** 1. Group Name: A unique and descriptive identifier for the group, representing the function within the organization. 2. Assigned Roles: One or more roles linked to the group that define the specific permissions and access rights granted to users under this group. 3. Assigned users: The users assigned to the group, determining who inherits the associated permissions of the roles.
