The following applies if you are using a version of the software before Update 60. For the latest information, see Configure owning groups.
Owning groups govern the ownership of data. Owning groups should be modeled for separate user access based on object ownership, such as its department or discipline.
Owning groups can also be used to determine the file vaulting strategy. Vaulting strategies can be based on object properties, such as project and status, but the simplest strategy is to relate a vault to an owning group. This is described in more detail in How to Configure the Document Schema.
The owning groups available to a user are those configured on the user's role as described in Manage the access groups for a role.
To configure owning groups, you need to log in to the desktop client as a system administrator.
