Create and Manage Groups

A group is a set of users that can be granted sets of permissions through assignment of roles. It is more efficient to assign roles to a group than to assign the same roles to each user individually.

If you are are using LDAP to authenticate all AppDynamics Controller users you do not need to create AppDynamics groups.
