The function of Groups is to help categorize a users's working roles within your setup. While this sounds fairly similar to Departments, there is a distinct difference between the two, not only in semantics but in functional purposes as well.

The main differences between Groups and Departments are:

  • A group represents a functional purpose. Thus, a user can belong to many groups but can only belong to one department.
  • Groups are usually agnostic from an organizational structure viewpoint. Lets say, for instance, that an organization has 10 departments and each department has a secretary. In this case, Secretary would be a group in itself and the members of the Secretary group would all belong to different departments.

用户组 也可以归集1组用户, 可用于一类角色的定义.

用户组部门 的主要差异:

  • 1个用户组一般代表1个功能目标. 1个用户可以同时归属多个用户组, 但1个用户只能归属1个部门.
  • 用户组通常无法在组织结构图中描述. 比如, 1个组织有10个部门, 每个部门有1个秘书. 这样, 秘书就可以定义为1个秘书用户组, 其中的成员又归属不同的部门.

简单讲, 当取用户在组织结构图中的位置时使用 部门 , 当归集不同功能时使用 用户组In short, use Departments when you are trying to represent a user's placement within an organizational chart, and use Groups to represent the various functions a user might carry out.

 

Figure 1: Setup Users 设置用户 - Setup Groups设置用户组

管理用户组, 进入 设置用户 > 设置用户组. 注意, 每个用户组可以关联到1个组织,但不是必须的. 如前所述, 1个用户可以归属不同用户组, 所以1个用户组可以拥有不同组织的用户To manage groups, go to Setup Users > Setup Groups. Note that each group created can be tied to a specific organization, although not necessarily so. As mentioned earlier, a user can belong to multiple groups and, unless restricted, a group can have members that span several organizations.
