Groups and Users

When you design an asset workflow, you can assign the steps in the workflow to either an individual user or a group. If you make these assignments to groups, the steps can be handled if an individual is unavailable when it is time to complete a step. You can also manually specify individual users or groups; for example, you do so when manually assigning an Owner or Owner Group to an asset. A group / user is a common item shared among business processes.

This product ships with a set of predefined groups and users for IT Asset Management. Some of these groups are used by default in the best practice workflow steps. If you want to use this workflow as shipped, add users in your data center to these groups. You can also modify the workflow to use other groups.

The following table lists and describes the groups / users that are available as optional content:
