 Client Server Installation
A client/server network is a system in which one or
more computers, referred to as clients, link to a central
computer, referred to as a server, in order to share or
consume resources. In reality, having multiple servers is
one approach to build up a client/server network. Each
server can take on a different role in this scenario.

Group User Management
As an administrator, you can utilize user groups to
establish and manage the records of a group of users to
whom you wish to grant access to common features like
access rights, roles, and permissions.

User groups can exist independently of an organization,

across numerous organizations, or within a single
organization.

Using user groups, you can:
1. Designate the menu items that the users can access through the
Administrative and User Console.
2. Assign users or subgroups to the user groups.
3. Designate status to the users so that they can specify defined responses
for process tasks.
4. Make modifications and request permissions for data objects.
5. Designate group administrators to perform actions on groups, such as
enabling members of another user group to assign members to the current
user group.
6. Designate provisioning policies for a user group. These policies determine
if a resource object is to be provisioned to or requested for a member of
the user group.
7. Assign or remove membership rules to or from the user group. These
rules determine which users can be assigned to the user group.
