SRAM offers the option to create groups within your collaboration, and assign collaboration members to groups. When people log in to an application connected to your collaboration, their group membership is released to the application. The application can use that information, for instance for authorization: deciding who is allowed access to what functions or data. Say you want to use a wiki, and some members of your collaboration should be assigned an admin role in that wiki: you could agree with the wiki-admin that you will create a group 'Wiki-admin' in SRAM, and put some people in that group 'Wiki-admin', so that when someone that is in that group access the wiki, the wiki can check group membership and people will automatically be assigned the admin role when accessing that wiki.
Creating groups
On the collaboration screen, head towards the "Groups" tab and use the "Add group" button.
You will be redirected to a screen with a form containing different fields for you to fill in:
- Name
Shown to users - Short name
The short name will be used to identify this group to applications - Platform identifier
A combination of the organisation identifier, the collaboration identifier and the short name of the group automatically generated - Description
Shown to users - Auto-provision collaboration members
If checked, all existing members within the collaboration and all future members will automatically be added to this group.
Managing members of a group
At any time, you might want to edit members of a group. Select the group under the tab "Groups". You will be redirected to the group page. Here you can add or remove members to/from a group.
Editing a group
At any time, you might want to edit the group. To do so, select the group: on the right, you will see an edit button with a pencil ✏️. It opens the same form as for creating a group.
