Groups management
Overview groups
Silva offers the ability to find external users in a group and set access for that group in Silva.
It’s possible to make groups using PAS to be retrieved from an external source like LDAP. In this case the group members cannot be managed from Silva directly, but the group is available for setting access. Information about adding groups can be found in the Adding groups documentation.
More information about role assignments can be found in the role assignments documentation.
Assigning roles and permissions for a group
Assigning roles to groups works exactly the same as assigning roles to users except you use the group clipboard. (Fig. 1.) The only difference is that it’s possible to lookup all groups.

Click the lookup groups... button. (Fig. 2.)

After clicking a lookup dialog will appear.
Fill in a group name, part of a group name, or no group name if you want to add all available groups to the clipboard.
