You can search for existing groups that match the search
criteria. When creating a new group, you can choose the groups from
the search results list that you want to make the group a member of.
Note: If the federated repositories configuration has changed
since the application server or deployment manager was started, you
must restart the application server or deployment manager to ensure
that changes to users and groups are saved to the current configuration.
During the creation of a new group and after clicking
on Group Membership, complete these steps to add the group to one
or more groups:
- In the Search by field, select the
attribute from the list that you want to use to search for one or
more users. For example, select Group Name to locate groups by searching
by their group names.
- In the Search for field, either
type the string that you want to search for or use the wildcard character
(*) to search for all users or to search for a limited set of users.
- In the Maximum results field, specify
the maximum number of search results that you want to display.
- Click Search.
- The search results will display two lists: one list is
for groups that matched the search criteria and one list, named Current
Groups, is for groups that the user is already a member of.
- To add the group to one or more groups, highlight the groups
from the matching groups list to select them. For example, you might
highlight ibmaustin01 and ibmaustin02 and
then click < Add.
- Optional: To remove the group as a member, highlight the
groups from the Current Groups list and then click Remove
>.
When the group has been successfully added to the groups,
the group names are listed under Current Groups.
