Managing Authority Groups
An authority group is a number of authorities that are grouped under a single name and applied to users. Managing your user authority groups is an important part of the Xpress Insight 5 user authentication and authorization security system. When a user is authenticated, the authorization system returns a set of authorities for the logged in user. Certain authorities are required to invoke actions by the Xpress Insight server.
