Managing groups
Groups are another type of entitlement a user can have in OpenIAM. Like Roles, Groups are used to grant access to a set of objects. They are typically used to represent a collection of objects, such as a specific team or group of people. Groups can also contain other groups and be organized into specialized categories. This structure is commonly seen in Active Directory (AD), which includes distribution groups, security groups, etc. OpenIAM allows users to define custom Group types with a unique set of attributes.
