  21. Click Finish to create a new workflow.

    Permissions of the Agent override permission of the Group. That is, if an Agent is mapped to a workflow that mapping holds true even though the Group may not be mapped to the Workflow.

Alternatively, the last screen (Step 4 of 4) may appear as below if Active Directory and the CCF Database is used as the store.

If you wish to add a group, type any portion of the name and click Check Name and chose from the list of groups. Then click the Add button. You can also enter the name in the blank and click the Add button.
