Introduction
As at Open-AudIT 2.0 we have changed the way Groups are used within Open-AudIT. Groups used to be the way to assign a user rights to devices. A user had a level of access to a group (or groups). This is no longer the case.
As at Open-AudIT 2.0, users are assigned a role (or roles) and access is based upon the organisations a user has access to. Groups are used mainly for reporting convienence convenience and Baselines within Open-AudIT Enterprise.
How Does it Work?
Groups are used as simple lists of devices that match the required conditions. They no longer (as at 2.0) support returning different attribute lists for display. If requested using JSON they return a list of system.id's only. If requested using the web interface, they return the standard column attribute list.

A group can be created using the web interface if a user has a role that contains the group::create permission. Go to menu: Manage -> Resources -> Groups -> Create Groups. There is also a create button on the collection page. A user must include the filter clause in the where filter, ie - WHERE @filter. This is required so Open-AudIT can return only those devices a user has access rights to. Examples are on the Help -> Default Group List Defaults -> Default Groups page (see below).
Default Groups
There are sixteen default groups. They are below. The default group definitions can also be found in the application at menu -> Help -> Default Group List.
