What it does
The start of the tag of each direct-group type (role, organisation, department, project, cross-org). It fills {GroupTypePrefix}; the rest of the tag is {ShortName}, e.g. ROLE-HelpDesk. The tag is then placed in the PIM group pattern to give the group name.
When set
When set: groups created from now on in the Create access wizard get the new tag prefix. PIM Manager also uses the prefixes to tell which type an existing tag belongs to (the access map groups role and organisation groups by prefix, and a cloned group keeps its type).
When blank or default
When blank / at the default: the shipped prefixes are used. A blank prefix cannot be saved -- tags of different types would collide.
Risk and how to reverse it
Existing groups keep their tag and name. After a change, groups with the old prefix are shown under OTHER in the access map and a clone of one is treated as a role group. Reversible: restore the old prefix.
Requires
SuperAdmin in PIM Manager. Free (Community). Nothing else.
Recommended
Keep the shipped prefixes unless you have an existing tagging scheme; decide before you create your first groups, because a group's name is fixed once it exists.
