An administrator creates a group to simplify administration of user access controls; groups also function in workflow and task assignments.
Consider creating
groups by job type, department, or other methods of membership. Groups can contain other groups. The only restriction is that you cannot create a circle. For
example, if
Group
A is a member of
Group
B,
Group
B cannot be a member of
Group
A or any other
group
(or descendent) that is a member of
Group
A.
