Users and security groups

A security group controls what the group users can view and perform in ValueEdge Strategy.

Predefined security groups

To access and perform actions in ValueEdge Strategy, you must be assigned the Strategy license or the Space admin role in ValueEdge. For details on user management, see the ValueEdge Help Center.

The roles and licenses you are assigned in ValueEdge determine the security group where you belong. ValueEdge Strategy includes these security groups: SPM User and SPM Admin. The security groups and their related accesses and actions allowed in ValueEdge Strategy are predefined and cannot be modified.

The following table explains the mapping between security group, role/license, and what users of each security group can do.
