Introduction

Government Clause Automation comes with several groups provided by default. By adding users to these groups, you can grant access to separate parts of the application.

There are three categories that the default groups belong to:

• Business Groups
  • These groups represent the different business roles that will interact with the application.
  • Examples include Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist.
• Security Groups
  • These groups are set as the security for certain Appian objects. Different business groups are members of security groups to grant access to application functionality to entire roles.
  • Examples include AS GCM Clause Management Site Access and AS GCM View Documents PM Access.
• Wrapper Groups
  • These groups are used to group together groups of the same category. For instance, a list of business groups may be added to a certain wrapper group. This allows for querying for all groups of a certain category in different parts of the application.
    • Examples include AS GCM Business Roles.

This page lists the default groups provided with GCA, what business groups belong to which wrapper and security groups, and what actions members of the security groups can perform.

Group visibility

For the correct groups to show up in application pickers, each type of group has the following visibility settings:

Group Type	Visibility	Reason
Business group	Public	End users should be able to select business groups in application pickers.
Security group	Private	End users should never see security groups in application pickers.
Wrapper group	Private	End users should never see wrapper groups in application pickers.

Wrapper group membership

This table lists all of the default business groups and the wrapper group to which they belong.

These business groups are members of the AS GCM All Business Users group type.

Wrapper Group	Business Group
AS GCA Business Roles	Contracting Officer
	Contract Specialist
	Contracting Manager
	Privileged Users

Actions users can perform based on their group membership

This table lists all of the actions that are available in GCA and the security groups that control access to each action. It also lists the business groups that are members of each security group.

For security groups where no business group is listed, Appian recommends that you grant membership to individual users.

These security groups are members of the AS GCM Security Groups group.
