Defining, editing, and deleting groups
You can define a groups that contain certain permissions to an application.
You can also assign existing users to a group. During installation, the Administrators
and Public groups are created automatically by IBM Alphablox. The Administrators
group has full read and write access to all of the applications. The Public
group has read access to the applications only. A guest user is automatically
assigned to the Public group.

- In the General Properties tab, provide a group
name (required) and description
for the group.
Allowable characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, underscore, or special characters
(for example, accented characters) when running in a language other than English.
The display of the name is case sensitive but the actual username that is
authenticated is case insensitive. The names Public, Private,
and Properties are reserved and cannot be used for an object name.
