Add user to a group
Aug 21, 2026
Scenario
An administrator needs to add a registered user to an application group in AIC to grant the correct access scope for their work. This is commonly required during onboarding, role/team changes, or urgent access enablement. For Policy-on groups, membership may automatically grant inherited roles, so adding the user to the right group is the approved way to provide access. For Policy-off groups, membership may provide context but roles might still need to be assigned separately.Prerequisites
- Administrator has access to the Users page with role-based permissions.
- Administrator has access to Applications → Access tile to manage group membership (add users).
- The user is registered and searchable in AIC, and the target Group name and Application ID are identified.
- The user’s UUID is available (used for searching the user inside the group’s users list in the application context).
- Administrator has confirmed business justification / approval exists (if your org requires it).
- Inheritance behavior is understood (Policy-on vs Policy-off).
Roles authorized
Steps
- Identify the correct application and target group (Users view - user-centric)
- Sign in to Aikyam Identity Console.
- Navigate to Users from the left navigation pane.
- Search for the user and open the user profile.
- Go to the Groups tab to review existing memberships. and confirm the user is not already a member of the target group.
- Note the Application ID and the Group name to which the user must be added (you will use these in the Applications view).
- Copy/confirm the user’s UUID from the user profile (needed to find the user in the group Users list).
- Add the user to the group (Applications view - application-centric)
- Navigate to Applications from the left navigation pane and select the relevant application (using the noted Application ID).
- Open the Access tile.
- Click View & Update.
- Go to Groups, select the target group name, then open the Users section.
- Click Assign users in the Users section.
- Search for the user using the UUID, select the user, and click Add / Save / Confirm.
- Verify the user now appears in the group’s Users list.
- Validate effective access after addition (Validation- users view)
- Return to the user profile in Users and open the Roles tab.
- Select the relevant application from the Application dropdown and confirm roles inherited from the added group are now effective.
- Open the Groups tab and confirm the new group membership is visible in the user profile.
Note:
- For Policy-on applications, users inherit roles through group membership; adding the user to the group grants inherited access automatically.
- For legacy / Policy-off applications, group membership may not grant roles automatically; assign roles separately if required.
- If the user already has conflicting memberships (e.g., mutually exclusive groups), resolve conflicts before adding.
- Use Activities tab to trace access changes for compliance and investigations.
