Manage Groups

Groups are a way of managing user permissions in VirtServer. They allow you to make certain virtual services only available to a limited group of people.

For example, you may want to:

Make sure teams can only interact with virtual services they manage.
Protect critical virtual services from accidental deletion or stopping by making them accessible only to a small number of people.
Make services deployed for internal purposes of one team unavailable to other teams.
Isolate new users so that they can learn and experiment without the risk of breaking any important functionality.

Permissions

Administrators can:
- View any virtual services.
- Interact with any virtual services regardless of their group status.
- Create groups and add users to them.
- Assign any virtual services to any groups.
- Unassign any virtual services from any groups.
Regular users can:
- View any virtual services.
- Interact with virtual services that are assigned to a group the user is part of or not assigned to any group.
- Assign available virtual services to a group the user is part of.
- Unassign virtual services from groups the user is part of.
