    User groups are the most efficient way to manage access in the enterprise web console. Roles are assigned to a user group, and every member of that group automatically receives the same permissions.

    Users are not required to be added to a user group. However, a user can belong to any number of user groups, and their effective permissions are the combined result of all roles assigned to those groups, plus any roles assigned directly to the user.

    This approach keeps access consistent, prevents permission drift, and simplifies managing personnel changes at scale.
