The Group Management system in the eTag Fuse platform allows administrators to create, manage, and organize user groups, making it easier to assign roles, permissions, and security policies. Group management simplifies access control by enabling administrators to manage users in bulk, ensuring that permissions and roles can be applied consistently across departments, teams, or organizational units.
Administrators can create user groups based on departments, teams, projects, or any other organizational structure. These groups can then be used to streamline role and permission assignments, ensuring that access control is managed efficiently.
Roles can be assigned to entire groups, ensuring that all group members automatically inherit the permissions associated with those roles. This simplifies the process of managing access control for large teams or departments.
Administrators can easily manage group memberships, adding or removing users from groups as needed. This ensures that users are only part of the groups that are relevant to their current responsibilities.
Fuse supports group hierarchies, allowing administrators to create parent and child groups. Child groups inherit permissions from their parent groups, enabling a structured and scalable approach to group management.
Groups can be assigned specific security policies, such as session management rules, password policies, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements. This ensures that different groups have security settings tailored to their specific needs.
Fuse supports certificate-based access control for groups, allowing administrators to require client certificates for group-level authentication. This adds an extra layer of security for groups dealing with sensitive data or high-security environments.
Groups in Fuse are tightly integrated with roles and permissions, allowing administrators to assign permission sets to groups and manage user access in bulk. When users are added to or removed from a group, their access to resources is updated automatically based on the group’s roles.
Departmental Access Control: An organization creates groups for each department (e.g., "HR Department," "Finance Team") and assigns roles and permissions based on department-specific needs. When a new employee joins a department, they are added to the group, automatically inheriting the relevant roles and permissions.
Project-Based Groups: A project team is created for a new product launch, and all team members are added to a specific group. The group is assigned access to the project’s resources, ensuring that only the project team can access sensitive documents and tools.
Certificate-Based Access for High-Security Teams: A company’s IT security team is assigned a group that requires client certificates for authentication. This ensures that only users with valid client certificates can access the organization’s critical infrastructure.
The Group Management system in the eTag Fuse platform simplifies access control by allowing administrators to manage users in bulk through groups. With flexible role assignments, group hierarchies, and security policies, Group Management ensures that access control is consistent, scalable, and tailored to the needs of each department, team, or project.
