PowerCenter Group

When PowerCenter is installed, the installer creates a default administrator user account. The default administrator account can be used to initially log in to the Informatica domain and create PowerCenter services, domain objects, and user accounts.

The privileges assigned to a user determine the task or set of tasks a user or group of users can perform in PowerCenter applications. It is possible to organize users into groups based on the tasks they are allowed to perform in PowerCenter. Create a group and assign it a set of privileges. Then assign users who require the same privileges to the group. All users who belong to the group can perform the tasks allowed by the group privileges.
