Adding a User Group to the List of Available Users for a Universe

You apply a restriction to user groups defined for your BusinessObjects system. These users are defined in the Manage Groups and User Accounts section of the BusinessObjects Administration Console. See the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI V2 Administrator's Guide for information on setting up users and groups for the BusinessObjects system.

If you need to apply a restriction to a user group that is not in the Available Groups and Users pane, you can add the user group to the list as follows:
