Add a Group to Other Groups

Use this window to search for and display a list of groups that match your search criteria. Add the specified group to one or more groups that you select.

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.
Group Name
Displays the name of the group that you want to add as a member of one or more selected groups. You can only view information in this field.
Search by
Select one of the choices of attributes by which you want to search. The default value is Group name.
Search for
Type a value that you want to search for. Or, use the wildcard character (*) to limit the search. The default value is * (all). Whether the search is case sensitive depends on the user registry that is being used. You can use the wildcard character anywhere in the string. For example, you might type these values if searching by group name:
  • To search for all group names, type *.
  • To search for group names that begin with the letters ibm, type ibm*.
  • To search for group names that end with the letters ibm, type *ibm.
  • To search for group names that begin with the letters ib and ending with the letter m, type ib*m.
Maximum results
Type the maximum number of search results that you want to be displayed. If you type a number that is higher than the default value, performance will be affected. The default value is 100.

Click Search to find and display a list of one or more existing groups that match your search criteria.

When the list of groups is displayed, highlight one or more groups to select them, and click Add to add the group as a member of the selected groups.
