Access Groups
Access Groups control where users can apply their permissions or what parts of the system a user can access. They determine what UIs, maps, and data sets are visible or accessible to a user.
Example:
If a user is assigned the “Viewer” role and linked to the Warehouse A Access Group:
- They can view (but not modify) workflows
- Only maps, UIs, and data tagged under Warehouse A will be visible
Access Groups act as logical containers for scoping user access.
