Group Type

Description

Companies are organized in different business units, departments or workgroups. In Soffid, they all are named as groups. These group can be categorized by a group type.

A user always belongs to a user type, but groups do not necessarily have to belong a group type.

On the other hand, some Group types can be used in the definition of Holder Groups in which a role is assigned to a user only through a group enabled for it.
