User group provision

[#1]

Hi Experts,

We have different user groups created in prod systems and we want to tag them to users as needed/fit when creating users through GRC.

is it possible?

hello,

check your EUP setting and enable user group visible and editable,

you can fill user group while submitting request.

Thanks Prasant!

Do I need to run any sync to see the groups available on the connector? or should we put the group manually?

Hi Somik,

Could you explain how the answer is correct , when GRC system does not have user group values of connectors.

Sync will not pull user group values. Also, adding all user group values(of all connectors) into GRC Systems' s Own User group list , will ruin GRC system's data, because GRC itself is a connector,like any other. Eg. do you add all user groups of BI into ECC?

When your system has diff. user groups for Countries, why don't you use User defaults. It can assign user group values based on country. but , you would have to pull country from the request raised.

everyone has taken the long road, when they started as a beginner. So, it was never easy for anyone.

Hi Plaban,

Absolutely! I completely agree with you and has full respect about the journey you had to come here.

It's always an inspiration while starting as a learner.

Can you please provide some more details on the below

When your system has diff. user groups for Countries, why don't you use User defaults. It can assign user group values based on country. but , you would have to pull country from the request raised.

How can we map user group to countries in user default?

Hello Somik,

i just replied based on my little knowledge in GRC.

I am very beginner with less experience,Unlike Plaban who is great experienced person.

would request you to remove this as answered and change it to plaban who gave you nice answer, as per my knowledge goes we could have kept it simple by keeping user group editable and can be filled manually as well,

i think for existing user user group can be populated automatically, just based on my little experience,you can seek help of other .

thanks ..

Hi Prasant,

i admire you a lot, and you have been posting much before than i have. So, i am lesser experienced than you, in GRC.

Yes, existing user group of a user will be pulled automatically, and can be changed when set as editable and therefore can be filled manually.

Hi Both,

I admire you all the time and you all inspire me all the time.

But when I see in the GRC request the existing groups are not getting populated

Did i miss something here?

Hi Somik,

Can you check, If you  have any user group values in GRC system. If not, as a best practice you cam create custom field, and proceed, as posted earlier by me.

well i think , you need little tweak , to achieve what you need.

check you user detail data  source .

. im not sure about your design and your requirement completely, you just wanted to know whether you can keep user group in access request, which have been answered,

we cannot help unless you provide complete details of you requirement .

may be once we have fair idea we can help you setting your requirement.
