Basic groups

You cannot migrate basic groups from Repository Administration 11.0 to Infor EPM. You must recreate basic groups in EPM Administration user management.

In EPM Administration, select Dashboards > User and Permission Management > Users and User Groups to create basic groups.

See "Users and User Groups" in the "EPM Administration" section.

In Infor BI 11.0 user management, it was common practice to create basic groups that match business roles and assign them to fitting roles in all nodes of a repository. For example, the Sales basic group would be assigned to project role SalesRole, to report catalog role Sale Role, to dashboard catalog role Sales, and to OLAP Permissions Management role SaleRole.

Administrators would then be able to assign users to a business role by assigning them to the basic group.

Such basic groups are no longer needed in Infor EPM as the application roles already do the job of providing all application permissions on one object.

You can use the Application Engine functions for bulk creation of basic groups. For example:

SecurityCreateBasicGroup(RepositoryConnection conn, string groupName, string description) for creation of basic groups
