Assigning Unix user accounts directly to a Unix group

Groups can be assigned directly or indirectly to user accounts. Indirect assignment is done by allocating the employee and groups into company structures such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. If the employee has a user account in a Unix-based target system, the groups in the role are inherited by this user account.

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign groups directly to user accounts.
