What is the primary purpose of user groups in Adaptive Planning?

The primary purpose of user groups in Adaptive Planning is to streamline user management. By organizing users into groups, administrators can efficiently manage access, permissions, and features for a set of users rather than individually assigning roles and capabilities. This grouping simplifies the administration process, allows for effective collaboration among users who share similar tasks or responsibilities, and enhances overall operational efficiency. With the ability to manage user settings at the group level, changes can be implemented quickly without having to modify each user's configurations individually.

While defining user access rules, controlling version access, and assigning process tasks are important functions within the system, they often build on the foundational management that user groups provide. User groups make it easier to implement these functions collectively, making the overall administration of user permissions more effective.
