Manage groups and members¶

Observe provides two default groups out of the box: Everyone and Admin. Both are reserved groups with special properties. The Everyone group includes all users in your Observe tenant; its membership is dynamic and can’t be changed. The Admin group can perform all actions and access everything in the account, and its permissions can’t be modified. These groups ensure consistent access and management across your Observe tenant. You can’t delete these groups, nor can you change the name of either group.

Create a group with admin privileges for its members¶

If you need to have a group whose members have admin privileges, do the following:

Create the group and give it a name other than Admin.
Assign admin privileges to the group.

Click Create.

Group permissions¶

Groups are subject to the following permissions, note that the Admin permission provides administrative access to the entire tenant workspace and include actions not explicitly listed in the Set permissions table.

Object	Permission
Worksheets	Grant group members the ability to create new worksheets.
Datasets	Grant group members the ability to create and publish new Datasets, and accelerate new Datasets.
Datastreams	Grant group members the ability to create new Datastreams and associated ingestion tokens, pollers and filedrop configs.

Monitor actions	Grant group members the ability to manage monitor actions.
Dashboards	Grant group members the ability to create new dashboards and create and export dashboard reports.
Authtokens	Grant group members the ability to create auth tokens for use with the Observe REST API.
Users	Grant group members the ability to invite and reactivate users, and delete and deactivate users.
Investigations	Grant group members the ability to access investigations.

Add members to the group¶

After you finish defining the group properties, click the Members tab to add members to this group.

If you are creating a new group, slide the Show only members in group toggle to the off position, so you can see all the members in your organization.
Search and select the members you want to add.

Click Update.
