Figure 3.19 Assign feature service roles to a user group
Feature service roles are associated with a user group only in the context of a specific device group or
contract and warranty share. This means that the same user group can have different roles assigned to it
in different contexts. For example, in Assign feature service roles to a user group the device group creator
has associated the “PFG Operator User Group Test” user group with the device group, and is assigning
several feature roles to it. A contract and warranty share administrator meanwhile could associate this
same user group with a contract and warranty share, and assign different feature service roles to it.
Roles assigned to a user group are group-wide. That is, they apply equally to both administrators and
members of the user group. In this example both administrators and members of the user group “PFG
Operator User Group Test” become device group administrators, since it is checked off.
The same mechanism is used when creating contract and warranty shares. See Roles are assigned
group-wide for examples.
User groups you create during the process of creating a device group are also available to associate with
other device groups, or with contract and warranty shares.
You can associate more than one user group with the same device group or contract and warranty share.
Do this if you want to assign different roles to different groups of users. Roles and feature services are
grayed out if no contract or warranty exists that allows them. Purchasing a contract or warranty will
activate the ability to assign these roles and feature services to the user group.
You cannot delete a user group if it is the only user group that has administrator role for a device group or
for a contract and warranty share.
