Users become member of the group, but in a hidden process, so you would have difficulty managing them on the Webcat level. I suggest that: 1) A new group is created in Webcat first (name test1). 2) RPD Group should be created with the same name (test1). 3) Restart both services (BI Server and Presentation Services) 4) Add a new user and add it to the test1 group in RPD. 5) First time that user logs in, he should have all privileges that group test1 allows for Good luck Ritesh ,

Can you please provide more detail on the work around? Do you mean here that you created the groups after you created user and bounced everything. Appreciate if you can fill in the work around in your reproducible steps. I mean when to do what. Thanks for the help. Hi Andriy,

It was such a long time ago. I think I re-created all groups , restarted everything. Now it seems to be working fine. I think the problem was that after creating groups, BI needed to be restarted.
