Creating groups

You can create one or more groups. The group names and descriptions are added to the user registry.

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 Searching for groups.
  2. Click Create to create a new group.
  3. In the Group name field, type a name to be used to identify the group. This group name will be added to the user registry. For example, you might type ibm
  4. Optional: In the Description field, type a brief description for the group to distinguish this group from other groups. This description will be added to the user registry. The description must be an alphanumeric string with characters that are part of the local code set. For example, Users and groups, CNC Company Dept 047
  5. Click Create to add the group name and the description, if entered, to the user registry. If successful, a message displays indicating that the group has been created.
  6. To create another group, click Create Another.
  7. Repeat the process until all the new groups have been created.
