Manage groups

Use groups and roles to manage and organize user access in Camunda 8.

About groups​

Organize your users into groups as an efficient and scalable way of controlling access in Camunda 8.

  • Instead of assigning roles to individual users, map a set of roles to a group.
  • All group members automatically inherit the role permissions of a group.
note

You do not create or manage users in Identity itself. Users are managed in Keycloak or your connected IdP.
