# IPK Management Security Role: Groups Tab

You can assign IPK groups to the security role. Any Analyst who is assigned the role is considered a member of the group(s) linked to the role.

You can also specify a default IPK group to which calls owned by the Analyst will be automatically assigned unless otherwise specified. This is useful when Analysts belong to several groups.

### Before you start

You must have **Security Roles setup** selected in the Admin tab of your own **General Access security role** before you can assign or remove permissions for any security roles.

IPK groups must first be defined using the IPK Groups option on the **System Administration** Explorer pane.
{% endhint %}

1. Display the IPK Management Security Roles details window, if it is not already on screen.
2. Select the **Groups** tab.  This tab displays two tables. The first one shows a list of all available support groups in the system. The second one shows the support groups that are linked to the current role. 
3. To add a support group to a role, select the group in the upper table and click **Add to List**. 
4. To specify a default group for the role, select the group in the lower table and click **Set as Default**.
5. To remove a group from a role, select the group in the lower table and click **Remove**.
6. Select  ![](https://alemba.help/help/10.0/content/resources/images/save%20and%20close%20button.png) to save the changes and close the window. Provide the Change Reasons if prompted to do so. Alternatively, select another tab, if appropriate.
