Group Properties - General

Use the General tab of this window to view or change information about an existing group. You can update the description if one exists, or you can add a new description if none exists. If the registry is in read-only mode, you can only view information about the group. You cannot edit the fields.

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.
Group name
Specifies the name used to identify the group. You can change the group name after it has been created. The group name must be an alphanumeric string with characters that are part of the local code set. Whether the group name is a case sensitive or case-insensitive string depends on the registry configuration. For example: Dept 047
Description
Optional: Briefly describes the specified group to help distinguish it from other groups. If you are adding or changing the description, the description must be an alphanumeric, case-insensitive string with characters that are part of the local code set. For example: Dept 047 members for CNC Company

Click OK to save the updated group information in the user registry, close the window, and return you to the previous window.

Click Apply to save the updated group information in the user registry, and leave the current window open.

If the user registry is in read-only mode, you can only view the information; you cannot edit any of the fields. After viewing, click Cancel to return to the previous window.

Note that if you support multiple repositories where some are read-only and some are read-write, then certain update options will be displayed even though you may not be able to perform the action. If you attempt to update an object that is in a read-only repository, you will receive an error message.
