A Group is a container of users that represents a Group, Responsibility, or Profile.

Some endpoint systems only set permissions through groups.

• Group Type is often provided in accordance with the group type, depending on the type of endpoint system.

• For example:

  • SharePoint local groups – "SharePoint group"

• Group Domain is the security domain in the identity store in which a group is defined. For example, the identity store is an Active Directory forest, with the Group defined within one of the forest domains.
