Authorization Groups with Test Cases

This section explains how Authorization Groups are applied to and interact with Test Cases within Int4 APITester.

1 Assigning Authorization Groups to Test Cases

Test Cases do not have an explicit Authorization Group field. Instead, their Authorization Group is determined by their containing folder. As mentioned in the Authorization Groups with Folders section, Test Cases inherit Authorization Groups from their containing folder.

The following actions performed on Test Cases are protected by Authorization Groups:
