An access group is an instance of the Data-Admin-Operator-AccessGroup class. Access groups make a set of RuleSet versions available to requestors.

Developers define access groups and associate an access group with each user (each Data-Admin-Operator-ID instance). Typically, multiple users are associated with or belong to one access group.

The access group associated with a user affects access control by determining:

• The portal layout that a user sees first after logging in.
• The local customization RuleSet name and RuleSet version. These usually are defaulted when this user creates a new rule instance.
• The application rule for this user.
• Optionally, the access roles available to this user.
