Security Groups
Security Groups Overview
A Security Group is used to manage access. Permissions are assigned through security group membership rather than to individual users. Security Groups are created by grouping users together and assigning a defined set of permissions, known as topics. Each topic specifies the actions that members of the group are authorised to perform.
