About Groups

A group is a logical entity that includes several users. Each group is assigned a single role and all users in the group are assigned the same role. Users can be assigned to multiple groups, so they can perform tasks based on the group's role and permissions. A group is also assigned to a single or multiple business units (scope). Depending on the permissions, group users can access data on cloud accounts within specific business units.

You can add groups for single sign-on (SSO). This allows users in the group to log in to the DSPM Admin Portal directly from an Identity Provider's (IdP) portal. Any new users added to this group can also use SSO to log in to the DSPM Admin Portal.

While adding a group for SSO in the DSPM Admin Portal, make sure to use the same group name that exists on the IdP portal. To learn more, see Adding Identity Providers.

DSPM provides the following default groups:

  • Default Super Admin: A group that has read, add, edit, and delete privileges in the DSPM Admin Portal.
  • Default Read Only: A group that has only read privileges in the DSPM Admin Portal.
  • ZIA Viewers: A group that has view only privileges in the DSPM Admin Portal. The group consists of ZIA users connecting to the DSPM Admin Portal via a link that is available on the ZIA dashboard in the ZIA Admin Portal.
  • ZIA DLP Managers: A group that has read, add, edit, and delete privileges in the DSPM Admin Portal. The group consists of ZIA users connecting to the DSPM Admin Portal via a link that is available on the ZIA dashboard or Policy in the ZIA Admin Portal.

The group entity has the following benefits and enables you to:

  • Create and manage groups.
  • Assign users to single or multiple groups with specific roles.
  • Assign groups to different business units.
  • Control users' RBAC permissions through groups.
