Assigning user groups to other user groups

About this task

Use the Manage Group Membership function to make user groups members of other user groups to create a group hierarchy. User groups are assigned the permissions and policies of the user groups they are a member of. These permissions are known as the standard or normal set of permissions. For more information about how policies and permissions are granted, see How policies are determined for a remote control session.

To add user groups to user groups, complete the following steps:
