SAP BO Administration - Managing Groups

When you need to assign same permissions to set of users, groups can be created, and users can be added to provide similar permissions. With group management, you can change the permissions of whole group instead of making changes to individual users. Using groups, you can provide access to repository objects instead of managing single user permissions.

There are few default Group accounts in SAP BO environment, as explained below −

Administrators	Members of this group can perform all task in all of the BI platform applications(CMC, CCM, Publishing Wizard, and BI launch pad). By default, the Administrators group contains only the Administrator user.
Everyone	Each user is a member of the Everyone group.
QaaWS Group designer	Members of this group have access to Query as a Web Service
Report Conversion Tool Users	Members of this group have access to the Report Conversion Tool application.
Translators	Members of this group have access to the Translation Manager application.
Universe Designer Users	User who belong to this group are granted access to the Universe Designer folder and the Connections folder. They can control who has access rights to the Designer application. You must add users to this group as needed. By default, no user belongs to this group.

You can also create a new Group by navigating to Users and Groups tab in CMC Console → New Group and provide Group name and description as below −
