A security group is a list of users who can be assigned permissions on a group basis. When users operate out of a specific group, they get the permissions assigned to the group. The use of security groups simplifies the process of managing a group of users with the same security needs.
A user can be a member of various security groups but can operate only out of one group—the current group—at one time. For more information about how to set your current group, refer to Full Name, Phone, Timezone, CURRENT GROUP, and SecAdmin Fields.Both users and administrators can create new security groups as the need arises. A user who creates a security group becomes the owner of the group.When a security group is defined, your security privileges determine if you can access information about a group:
• Users who are members of a security group can view that group’s information, provided the group’s owner gives them viewing rights.The Manage Security Group screen, illustrated in Sample Security Group Screen, lists the members of the group and indicates whether or not each member can view the group specification.
• The owner of a security group and the owner’s security administrator can view and update membership and other information for that group.
Security failure message produced when accessing the underlying metadata tables used for Security Groups will indicate an access mode of VIEW_GROUP, MODIFY_GROUP, or MOD_GROUP, depending on the above criteria.To display the Manage Security Group screen, place the cursor beside the Security Group field on the Security Management main menu and do one of the following:

When the selected name appears in the Security Group field, press Enter.Using either access method causes the Manage Security Group screen to appear. From this screen you can:
