Managing Database Groups 5
Database groups contain sets of databases within organizations. Database groups allow organization
administrators to provide the resources for operating and provisioning databases and to apply access and
authorization rules (security policies) to those databases. Grouping databases enables subdivision of resources
from the organization's allocated resources.

Database Group Management Overview
Organization administrators create database groups to enable efficient management of databases and database
templates. Administrators also allocate the resources required to provision, operate, and control database
groups.
The databases within a database group are usually related. For example, in Global user management mode,
where organizations represent business units in a single enterprise, database groups can group databases for
departments within the business unit. In By Organization user management mode, where each organization
represents a unique enterprise, database groups can group databases for business units within that enterprise.
Each database group can contain one or more databases. Databases must reside in one database group and
cannot be divided among database groups.
Database groups must reside in one organization and cannot be nested.
The following figure shows the relationship between organizations and database groups.
