Create Intelligence Central Groups
Intelligence Central allows you to create a group from existing users. You can include user accounts from both Active Directory and Intelligence Central in one group. Intelligence Central groups are identified by the following icon: 
The user creating the group is the owner of the group. The owner and users with an Administrator role are able to remove the group and edit group properties.

Any enabled user on Toad Intelligence Central can potentially be a group member. Select the Intelligence Central users to add to the group. Move these users to the Users in this group list. You (the user creating the group) are added to this list by default and can be removed.
The number in brackets following Group Members indicates the number of users in the group.
If the number of users on Toad Intelligence Central is extensive then you may like to filter the list of potential users. You can do this by typing text in the Start typing to find available users box. Remove the text to remove the filter.

When an Intelligence Central account is re-enabled, a new password is generated. The Administrator is given the opportunity to send an email notifying the user. Review the following for more information.
User Password for re-enabled account When an Active Directory user is re-enabled in Intelligence Central, the account uses the current Active Directory account password.
When an Intelligence Central user is re-enabled, a new password is randomly generated. The Administrator can see the password and copy it to the clipboard. If an email client is installed, the success message allows the Administrator to send an email notifying the user of their new password. Otherwise it is up to the Administrator to provide the password to the user.
