Issue/Introduction

Is it possible in the UIM Operator Console to give users access to specific groups or subgroups?

Is there a permission or ACL method to limit certain users to be able to see certain groups and/or subgroups in UIM in the OC (operator console) ? 

Environment

Release : UIM 20.4 CUx

Cause

Guidance

Resolution

The segregation of data and viewable contexts in the Operator Console only happens through origin-based distinction, using the origins specified in the account ownership.

So, at the moment UIM 20.4 CUx, there is no possibility to provide granular group-specific permissions to groups and/or subgroups. This would be an enhancement request. 

The Group>Account link is only supported at a parent level. So any subgroup will inherit the Account ownership and hence, any user that has the same ownership on its belonging account will be able to see them.
