How to Add a Federation Access Group in Horizon Console

You can delegate the administration of specific global entitlements to different administrators by creating federation access groups. By default, federation access groups reside in the root federation access group.

This procedure describes how to add a federation access group from the Global Administrators View page in Horizon Console. Alternatively, you can add a federation access group from the Global Entitlements page. For more information, see How to Move a Global Entitlement to a Federation Access Group in Horizon Console.
