SAP BO Administration - Managing Groups
When you need to assign same permissions to set of users, groups can be created, and users can be added to provide similar permissions. With group management, you can change the permissions of whole group instead of making changes to individual users. Using groups, you can provide access to repository objects instead of managing single user permissions.
There are few default Group accounts in SAP BO environment, as explained below −
