Changing group membership for a group

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. In the Maximum results field, specify the maximum number of search results that you want to display.
  4. Click Search.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
