User Groups & SCIM
Introduction to User Groups
User groups in Foundation enable role-based access control (RBAC) at scale. Instead of assigning roles to individual users, you can:
Create groups that represent teams, departments, or functions
Assign roles to groups
Add users to groups to grant permissions
This simplifies access management, especially with SCIM integration for automatic provisioning.
What Does It Mean for a User to Be in a User Group?
When a user is in a user group, they:
Inherit all roles assigned to that group
Receive permissions from those roles
Can be managed as part of the group
Example: If the "Data Engineers" group has the "Data Writer" role, all members inherit that role and its permissions.Benefits:
Centralized management: update group membership or roles to affect all members
Scalability: manage hundreds of users through groups
Consistency: ensure team members have the same permissions
Auditability: track access by group membership
