Group Membership

Use this window to search for and display a list of existing groups that meet your search criteria. Select the groups that you want the user to be a member of when setting up the user.

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.
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 (*). The default value is * (all). Whether the search is case sensitive depends on the user registry that is being used. 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.

After the search completes, the following lists are displayed:

Current groups

Displays an empty list when you are creating a new user. Fill this list with the names of groups that the user will be added to while the user is being created.

Matching groups

Displays the list of groups that matched your search criteria. Select one or more groups from this list that you want to add to the Current groups list.

To add the user to groups, select one or more groups from the Matching group list and then click < Add. The names of the groups are added to the Current groups list.

To undo the addition, select one or more groups from the Current groups list, and then click Remove >. The name of the group is removed from the Current groups list.

Click Close when you are finished selecting groups for the user. Your group membership information will be saved and you will return to the Create a User window where you can complete the task of creating a user.
