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 Studio Professional edition only and requires access to a Toad Intelligence Central server.
