Two ways to assign users and groups: in the user interface and in the XML

You have two options for assigning users and groups to data filters: through the user interface or in the XML you use to create the data filters. Assigning users in the XML is a useful method when you have many users, each of whom requires a separate filter.

Assigning users in the XML is available only when you create data filters using manual specification. When you assign users in the XML, you need the data filter IDs to specify the assignment, and these IDs are available only when you specify data filters using manual specification, not with automatic specification.

Details about using both methods for assigning users and groups are provided in this chapter.
