Managing Application Groups
The application group is a label for several users who have been logically grouped together and given a name. An application group can have zero to many users. The application group is a means for granting a subset of users permissions to a set of metadata objects.
A user might or might not be a member of an application group.
An application group does not have to have any members to exist.
