UW Groups Service

Overview

The UW Groups service provides infrastructure for defining, maintaining, and using "groups"—named objects with membership lists and standard attributes known collectively as group "metadata". Group membership lists might consist of people, computers, or other kinds of principals. Groups might be created by a person or department to serve a specific need; or they might be created by institutional processes, such as UW course enrollments, to serve more general needs.
