Adding a group to other groups

Before you can add a group to other groups, you must first search for the groups in which you want the group to be a member.

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.
  1. Complete the steps in Viewing the groups the group is a member of.
  2. Confirm that the group in the Group name field is the group that you want to add to other groups.
  3. In the Search by field, select the attribute from the list that you want to use to search for one or more groups. For example, select Group name.
  4. In the Search for field, either type the string that you want to search if for to limit the set of groups, or use the wildcard character (*) to search for all groups. Whether the search is case sensitive or case insensitive depends on the user registry that you are using.
  5. In the Maximum results field, specify the maximum number of search results that you want to display.
  6. Click Search . After the search completes, a list is displayed of the groups that match your search criteria.
  7. Highlight one or more groups to select them, and click Add.
