user-group

The name of the group of users. There must be a minimum of one valid group or the AdminServer will not start. If multiple groups are listed, they are separated by a colon. The user starting the AdminServer must be a valid account in one of the groups.

Use AdminServer Group (-admingroup) to authorize Progress AdminServer access and operational privileges for one or more user groups. To perform AdminServer functions, a user must use a valid user account that appears in at least one of the user groups.

On UNIX, you can specify a user group as any local group name or NIS group name. Subgroups are not supported. On Windows, you can specify a user group as any local group name or Domain group name. Global groups as members of local groups are supported.

If, during the Progress installation process, you accepted the default installation and did not choose to use authorization, you can use this parameter when starting the AdminServer to select authorization for one or more user groups. Otherwise, no group authorization is defined and all users have authorization.
