Defining a warehouse group

Use the Define Warehouse Group notebook to define warehouse groups that can access Data Warehouse Center objects. By defining warehouse groups, you can restrict warehouse access to Data Warehouse Center sources, targets, and processes.

Warehouse groups provide individual warehouse users with varied levels of access to Data Warehouse Center functions. When you define a warehouse user, you assign the user to specific warehouse groups that you define in this notebook. You can also add warehouse users to a warehouse group with this notebook.
