A Security Group allows an administrator to group the large number of Cúram Security Identifiers into a smaller number of manageable groups. Any Users who have a Security Role which is a member of the Security Group will have access to all the objects represented by the Security Identifiers belonging to the Security Group.

Example

User Ronan Rooney attempts to register a Person. He enters the registration information on a client screen and clicks a button. The client application attempts to call the Person.register method. The server application successfully authorizes that Ronan Rooney is permitted to access the Person.register method. The data to support this authorization is as follows:

• User Ronan Rooney has been assigned the Security Role 'Case worker';
• The Security Role 'Case worker' is a member of the Security Group 'Front office';
• The Security Group 'Front office' has been granted access to the Security Identifier 'Person.register'; and
• The Security Identifier 'Person.register' relates to the Function Identifier 'Person.register'.
