When you configure partner user groups, you must specify the following details: Name and description of the group—Because roles assigned to user groups define access control for the members of the group, it is important that the group name and description accurately describe its intent. Group members—You can add partner users and customers to the group during the creation of the group. User groups are created with no roles assigned to the group. You must edit the newly-created user group as described in the To assign roles to a partner user group section later in this topic to assign roles to the group. These assigned roles are then passed to the current and future members of the group. The Access Control > Partner User Groups page lists all user groups currently configured for your organization.
