Configuring a GES User Group

Before setting up fine-grained permissions for a graph, you must first create user groups. These groups allow you to assign fine-grained permissions to users within them, manage group settings, and check whether specific permissions are already associated with a group.

Procedure

To configure user groups, you need to understand the concept of user groups. This knowledge ensures proper setup and optimal utilization of user groups.
On the User Groups page, click Create User Group in the upper right corner. The Create User Group page is displayed.
Figure 1 User groups
Set the user group name and add group members.
- Name: Set a name for the user group or use the default name.
- Members: All IAM users created under your account are displayed in this area. Select members you want to add to the user group. The selected members are displayed on the right.
  - Click next to User name/ID to select or deselect all the members on the current page.
  If the IAM user is not found due to insufficient permissions, manually import the IAM user by referring to Viewing Graph Permissions in GES.
