Description

Description of the group.

Scope

The scope for this workgroup. If scope is assigned, only the users that control the designated scope can see this workgroup in select lists on pages such as the Certification Schedule or Search pages. This scope only applies to the workgroup, not the capabilities or identities contained within.

Group Email

Specify the email address assigned to this workgroup. A workgroup email address should be a distribution list. If no address is specified here, notifications are sent to each member of the group. A workgroup email account needs to be created in your email system.

Notification Setting

Specify to whom notifications should be delivered.

If you select Notify members and group email and the group email is a distribution list, the members receive the notification twice.

Notify members and group email – send notifications to each group member and the group email address.
Notify group email only – send notifications to the group email address but not the individual group members.
Notify members only – send notifications to each group member, but not the group email address.
Disable notifications – send no notifications to this group. This restriction only applies to items assigned to the workgroup.

Capabilities

The IdentityIQ capabilities available. The capabilities currently assigned to the workgroup are highlighted on the list. Each member of the group assumes the capabilities of the group, even if different capabilities were assigned to them individually. Use the Ctrl and Shift keys to select multiple capabilities.

Authorized Scope

The scopes controlled by this workgroup. Scope is used to determine the objects to which the members of this group have access.
Control determines access. If scoping is active, the workgroup members can only see objects that are within the scopes controlled by the group.

Assign scopes to the workgroup using the suggestion field at the top of the Authorized Scopes list box. Click the arrow to the right of the suggestion field to display a list of all scopes defined. Enter a few letters in the suggestion field to display a list of all scopes that start with that letter string.

Depending on configuration, objects with no scope assigned might be visible to all users with the correct capabilities.

Can Access Assigned Scope

Select this option to enable the workgroup members to control the scope to which they are assigned. If this option is cleared, the users do not have access to objects within the scope to which the workgroup is assigned. Control determines access. If scoping is active, identities can only see objects that are within the scopes they control.

The list of members of the workgroup. Use the dropdown list at the bottom of the table to select identities and the click Add Member to add members to the workgroup. Use the select boxes to select members and click Remove Members to remove members from the workgroup.
