# Set up security groups (teams) via Power Platform admin centre

**Security groups** in Power Platform are used to manage access to Altus environments and data at scale.

In Altus, these groups are linked to **Dataverse Teams**, allowing administrators to assign security roles to groups of users rather than individuals.

This approach supports **centralised access management**, aligning with organisational structures and simplifying onboarding and offboarding.

For more information on Altus security configuration, refer to:  
[https://docs.altus.pro/products/AltusPPM/Configuration/Security/index.html](https://docs.altus.pro/products/AltusPPM/Configuration/Security/index.html)

## Important: Platform & Permissions

This configuration is **not managed within Altus directly**.

It requires access to:

-   Power Platform Admin Centre
-   Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory)

These tasks typically require:

-   **System Administrator** (Power Platform)
-   **Global Admin or User Admin** (Microsoft 365 / Entra ID)

* * *

## Where This Is Configured

-   Power Platform Admin Centre → Environments
-   Settings → Users + Permissions → Teams

* * *

## High-Level Steps

1.  Navigate to **Power Platform Admin Centre**
2.  Select the relevant **environment**
3.  Go to **Settings → Users + Permissions → Teams**
4.  Select **Create Team**
5.  Configure the team:
6.  -   **Team Type** = Microsoft Entra ID Security Group or Microsoft 365 Group
    -   Select the relevant group
7.  Assign one or more **Security Roles** to the team
8.  Save the configuration

## How Security Groups Work

-   A group created in **Microsoft 365 / Entra ID** is linked to a Dataverse Team
-   Security roles are assigned to the team
-   All group members inherit the team’s access permissions

Key behaviour:

-   Users are added or removed via the **group membership**
-   Access is granted when users **access the environment**
-   Permissions are applied **consistently across all members**

* * *

## How This Impacts Altus

Security groups directly control access to:

-   Altus projects, programs, and portfolios
-   Work entities (e.g. Risks, Issues, Tasks, Deliverables)
-   Reporting and financial data

They also enable:

-   **Team-based ownership** of project data
-   **Consistent access control** across delivery teams
-   **Scalable user management** aligned with organisational structure

* * *

## Key Considerations

-   Group membership is managed **outside Altus** (in Microsoft 365 / Entra ID)
-   Users may need to access the environment before appearing in some views
-   Roles should be assigned carefully to avoid over-permissioning
-   Align groups with **teams, functions, or governance structures**

* * *

## Tips

-   Use groups instead of individual assignments wherever possible
-   Apply the **least privilege principle**
-   Align group naming with organisational standards
-   Regularly review group membership and assigned roles
