Changing group membership for a user

You can search for and list the existing groups that match the search criteria. When creating a new user, you can choose the groups from the search results list in which you want the user 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. During the process of Creating users, click Group Membership.
  2. 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.
  3. In the Search for field, either type the string that you want to search 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.
  4. In the Maximum results field, specify the maximum number of search results that you want to display.
  5. Click Search. After the search completes, the results are displayed in 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.
  6. To add the user 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.
  7. Optional: To undo or remove the user as a member, highlight the groups from the Current Groups list and then click Remove >.
  8. Return to the process of Creating users to complete the steps.
