Create Groups

Groups in Knocknoc map users to Knocs. Users can be assigned to multiple groups, to create a group in Knocknoc;

1. Browse to the Knocknoc admin interface.
2. Click on Groups on the left.
3. Click Create Group on the right.
   1. Enter the name of the Group. If the Group type is Dynamic or SAML and you expect it to match a group the IdP provides, it must match precisely. Note that Entra uses GUID values for Groups, which must be entered in the Name field.
   2. Type a brief description to aid in quick identification.
   3. Check the Knocs mapped for this group.
   4. If local or LDAP authentication is in use, check the users that need to be allocated to this group. If SAML authentication is in use this is done during user login.

Group types:

• Dynamic Groups: These match group information received as part of the SAML/SSO login flow. They also allow linking local users to the same group.
• Local Groups: These contain only local users and do not perform any matching against SAML group information received on login.
• SAML Groups: These match group names or strings received during a user’s SAML authentication and cannot include local users.

Note: If authentication is provided via SAML, group membership is set and passed through from the IdP. The Group Name in Knocknoc needs to match the Group Name provided by the IdP.
