How many access groups can an operator belong to?

An operator in Pega can belong to multiple access groups, but it is important to note that at any given time, only one of those access groups can be active. This design ensures that the operator's permissions and configurations are consistently derived from the single active access group, allowing for clear, manageable security and role definitions within the Pega application environment.

When operators switch between tasks or roles, they can change the active access group, which can be done on-the-fly depending on the needs of their work. This functionality is crucial for organizations that require their users to perform various jobs that may have different security requirements and access levels.

The limitation to one active group at a time helps in reducing complexity in managing access rights while still allowing flexibility for users to transition between different roles and access privileges as necessary.
