Create Intelligence Central Group
When you publish an object to Intelligence Central, you can choose to share the object with one or more users (or groups of users). The Publishing dialog presents a list of Intelligence Central users and groups from which you can select. The groups listed can be Active Directory and Intelligence Central groups.
The Publishing dialog also allows you to create a new Intelligence Central group from the current users. This is useful if you repeatedly share objects with a select set of users who do not already form a separate, distinct group. You can include user accounts from both Active Directory and Intelligence Central in one group.
You can also create a new Intelligence Central group from the Alter Visibility (Sharing) dialog or the Users tab in the Object Explorer.
Note: This feature is available in the Toad Data Point Professional edition only and requires access to a Toad Intelligence Central server.

In the Create Intelligence Central Group dialog, enter a name for the new group.
Notes: A group name can contain only the following characters: alpha and numeric characters, space ( ), underscore (_), hyphen (-), and period (.). Group names are not case sensitive.

- After adding users to the group, click OK to create the group.
- The group name is added to the list of users in the Sharing settings page (or Alter Visibility dialog). Any Active Directory groups/members included in the new group are also added to the list. You can now select the new group and share the object you are currently publishing (or modifying).
- To share other objects with the new group, open the Alter Visibility dialog for the selected object. See Specify Sharing and Manage Privileges for Objects for more information.
- To modify the group after it is created, select the Users tab in the Object Explorer. See Manage Intelligence Central Users and Groups for more information.
Tip: You can manage groups and view group information, such as a list of members or objects shared with the group, from the Users tab in the Object Explorer.
