An Administrator can add new user groups to the system. A user group organizes system users into specific groups based on their organizational role (e.g., Employee, Management, etc.).

Overview

With the Impersonation feature, Administrators can temporarily assume the account of another user to work with objects according to that user’s role and permissions. This feature is useful when Administrators need to test the user’s permission levels or to complete a task for users who may otherwise be unable to do so themselves. Administrators can impersonate other Administrators, but they are unable to perform administrative tasks while doing so.

Impersonation Mode can also be used to identify and fix any standard form conflicts for users in multiple roles. See the Form Conflicts section for more information.

Any changes made while impersonating another user are captured in the User Audit Trail.

If IP authorization control is enabled on your Org, your IP address will be validated against the IP allow list when activating Impersonation Mode and when disabling it. If your IP address cannot be validated, you'll be logged out. See the IP Authorization Control section for more details.

Overview

An Administrator can make changes to a user group or delete a user group. A user group organizes users into specific groups based on their organizational role (e.g., Employee, Management, etc.). Adding users to a user group allows an Administrator to assign multiple users within a user group to a role by assigning the user group to a role instead of manually assigning a role to each user.

If your organization uses LDAP, adding or removing users on a user group will need to be done from LDAP. If changes are made in Resolver, any changes will revert during the next LDAP sync.
