KIM Groups

Groups provide another important tool in KIM. Groups are an optional feature that allows you to associate persons, roles or other groups with each other for the purpose of making role assignments. For example, if you want to assign the same role to three users, you could create a group, assign the three users to it, and then assign the group to the desired role. (Alternatively, you could add the three users individually to the role. The choice of whether to use a group or assign individual users to roles is entirely yours.)
