Pritch, I can tell you that it's not in 7.5....I don't recall seeing it in 7.6.4, but it's in my 8.1 server...so my guess would be 8.x....but it could have been the 7.6.x versions and I didn't notice
https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/ars81/Using+a+parent+group+for+permissions+inheritance To define it, you simply go to the child and define the parent, anything you assign to the child flows up hill, there can only be one parent, but there can be multiple generations, parent of a parent of a parent. I've obviously never used it, but I'm curious how from a parent you see that the child is associated, and how you 'see' it from a permissions model so that if user has X, which is the parent of z....how do you know that without diving deep into why X was able to modify something that they didn't have access to. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of pritch Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 2:20 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: RequestID of Remedy Group I know you'll point me to a page somewhere in the volumes of documentation, but when did hierarchical groups come to the playground (what version) and how do you define them. Sounds like something that folks needed back in ITSM 5.5. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Mueller" <doug_muel...@bmc.com> To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 3:58:58 PM Subject: Re: RequestID of Remedy Group Everyone, Actually..... You need to be careful because the Group List is the list of EXPLICIT groups you are a member of. These are the groups to which you are specifically assigned. There are also the Computed Groups of which you may be a member based on your membership in the various explicit group assignments and your login name. These are in a different read-only field on the User form that is updated for you by the system to show which ones you matched. Then, there is the hierarchical group feature which if used means that you being explicitly assigned to one group may also grant you permissions to other groups which are below you in the hierarchy. Next, there is the Public group which of course grants you some permissions but as everyone is in this group, you can assume this group. At you know what groups you are a member of. Of course, you dynamically become a member of the Submitter and Assignee groups based on your login ID being in the corresponding fields on per record basis as well. OK, this finally gives you the list of all groups of which you have access. So, depending on what the purpose of getting this list is, remember, there are all kinds of issues with getting the group list -- is it the explicit group list or the expanded group lists that tell you what you additionally have access to. Then, if you are using this to determine access, you need to consider both the direct group assignment of permissions and the row level security permission assignment and then the presence of any group in your expanded group lists being in data fields.... But, that is a discussion for a different day.
