Share a Secure Agent group to optimize the use of available Secure Agent resources. For example, your organization contains separate sub-organizations for departments in different time zones. Each sub-organization runs data integration tasks at different times of the day. If you create one Secure Agent group for each sub-organization, some Secure Agent groups might be used heavily at certain times of the day while others remain idle. To distribute the tasks more evenly, add the Secure Agents to a Secure Agent group, and share the Secure Agent group with the sub-organizations.

To share a Secure Agent group, you must have the appropriate license.

When you share a Secure Agent group, the group appears on the

Runtime Environments

page in all sub-organizations. The sub-organization administrators cannot view the Secure Agents within the group. They cannot perform management tasks on the group such as adding or deleting Secure Agents, renaming, deleting, or unsharing the group, or changing the group permissions.

When a user in the sub-organization creates a connection or task, the user can select the shared Secure Agent group as the runtime environment.
