Adding Group Data to a Report

Overview

Group Data sections let you add details about a Group in one of your ThreatConnect^® owners to a report. When adding Group Data sections to a report, you must first select the Group whose data you want to add to the report. Then you can select which Group Data sections to add to the report and customize them as desired.

Before You Start

User Roles

• To add Group Data sections to a report, your user account must have an Organization role of Standard User, Sharing User, Organization Administrator, or App Developer.
