Back to Admin Console Use the Groups page in the User Management module to create and manage logically related user groups or import groups, such as your organization’s Active Directory groups. When your enterprise has diverse app requirements across departments or business units, create groups, add developers, and assign apps to those groups. You can also create custom groups based on factors such as geographic location, department, or shared interests. The system automatically creates groups when you import organizational units through Active Directory. The following illustration shows the Groups page in the User Management module.
