You can add Dynamic Groups to workspaces and add users to those groups. Dynamic group allows you to add multiple users to the workspace security avoiding the need to re-index the workspace each time a user is added. A dynamic group can be created based on CAM Roles, Admin, Editor, and Watcher. When you add members to these group, the users are automatically assigned the respective CAM role permissions.

Create Dynamic Group

1. Dynamic Groups can be created when configuring the External Systems. When adding a new server, under Server Configuration, in the Dynamic Group field, select the radio button, Yes to create a Dynamic Group for the repository.
2. You can also create a dynamic group via a CSV file upload.

Note: Once a user is added to a Dynamic group and a role is defined for the user (Admin/Editor/Watcher) and if the role for that user is later updated, this will create a duplicate entry for the user in the Dynamic group workspace security.

The Workspace(s) must be updated to update the Matter security.
