Chapter 6: Groups
Groups
Group management is an essential pillar of administration in Medulla.
Instead of configuring the rights and resources for each user or machine individually, the groups enable the organization to be centralized and common rules to be applied more effectively.
The groups are used to:
-
Gathering users or posts functional or technical criteria
-
Implementing common policies (access, permissions, configurations)
-
Divide roles coherently
-
Simplifying rights management, especially in complex environments
This approach facilitates Global pilotage, improves Security and strengthens the organisational coherence.
Unlike Kiosk, which works by individual profiles, the logic of groups in Medulla is designed for a collective and structured management of accesses and configurations.
