CalGroups

A service overview and catalog of CalGroups provided by the UC Berkeley IT Service Hub.

Description

CalGroups is a service that allows employees to create and manage groups that can be used for access control and mailing lists. CalGroups is easy to use - advanced technical skills are not required to create, change, or delete groups or members. It also offers the unique ability to automatically update your groups based on current institutional data.

Benefits & Features

Eliminate the need to manually manage multiple access lists for different systems and ensures consistent access control across your entire application suite.
Automatically updates group membership as their attributes change. This feature provides a critical security benefit by automatically de-provisioning access the moment a user is no longer eligible, such as when an employee leaves the university or a student graduates.
Allows business owners to manage their own memberships without needing advanced technical skills.
