User Groups
Alteryx supports the ability to manage user access through groups. Consider creating one or more user groups if you have sets of users who have similar access needs, like teams.
Prerequisites
You have direct access to your Analytics Cloud workspace and have been assigned the Workspace Admin role.
Overview
A user group is an Analytics Cloud object used to represent a group of users that have similar access needs.
Zero or more users can be assigned to a user group. If a user is assigned to a user group, that user will inherit any roles assigned to that user group and any assets shared with that user group. If a user is removed from a user group, that user will lose any roles assigned exclusively through that user group, and lose access to any assets shared exclusively through that user group.
Zero or more roles can be assigned to a user group. If a role is assigned to a user group, that role will be inherited by any users assigned to that user group. If a role is removed from a user group, that role will be removed from any roles assigned that role exclusively through that user group.
Zero or more assets can be shared with a user group. If an asset is shared with a user group, each existing and future group member will inherit access to that asset. To learn more about sharing, see Overview of Sharing.
