In SAP HANA Cloud, user groups provide a mechanism to manage user settings collectively. Administrators can configure client connect restrictions within user groups to control which clients or applications can connect to the database, enhancing security by limiting access to authorized interfaces. Additionally, password policy settings can be defined for user groups, allowing administrators to enforce rules such as password length, complexity, or expiration periods, ensuring compliance with organizational security standards. Authorization privileges, however, are assigned directly to users or roles, not user groups, as groups in SAP HANA Cloud are not used for privilege management. Similarly, identity providers are configured at the system level, not within user groups, as they relate to authentication rather than group-specific settings. These capabilities enable efficient and secure user management in SAP HANA Cloud environments.
