Jump Groups

What are Jump Groups?

Jump Groups are organizational tools that allow administrators to manage and group Jump Items, granting members varying levels of access to those items.

A Jump Group is a way to organize Jump Items, granting members varying levels of access to those items. Users are assigned to Jump Groups from this page or from the Users & Security > Group Policies page.
