In order to surface a table to a new group, simply add a record to the `DATACTRL.MPE_SECURITY` table. The `library.dataset` value should go in the `BASE_TABLE` field, the level of access (either _EDIT_ or _APPROVE_) should go in the `ACCESS_LEVEL` field, and the exact name of the relevant metadata group should go in the `SAS_GROUP` field. The change should then be submitted, and approved, at which point the new security setting will be applied.

## EDIT vs APPROVE
The `EDIT` permission determines which groups will be able to upload CSVs and submit changes via the web interface for that table. The `APPROVE` permission determines which groups will be able to approve those changes, and hence enable the target table to be loaded. If you wish to have members of a particular group both edit AND approve, then two lines (one for each group) must be entered, per table.
## Determining Group Members
Before adding a group to Data Controller, it helps to know the members of that group! The following options are available:
1 - Use SAS Management Console
2 - Deploy the [Boemska User Navigator](https://github.com/Boemska/user-navigator)
3 - Use Code
The "code" option can be performed as follows:
```
/* get macro library */
filename mc url "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Boemska/macrocore/master/macrocore.sas";
%inc mc;
/* call macro */
%mm_getgroupmembers(YOURGROUPNAME)
/* the above will create a dataset containing the group members */
```
