Duplicating group assignments for a group

You can search for groups that match the search criteria that you specify. After selecting one or more groups, these groups can be members of the same groups as another existing group. For example, if all groups at the Austin site should belong to the same groups as an existing group, you can duplicate the groups that the one group belongs to for all the other groups that you choose.

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. Select the check boxes next to one or more groups that you want to assign the same membership as another group.
  3. Choose the Duplicate Group Assignments action.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. In the Maximum results field, specify the maximum number of search results that you want to display.
  7. Click Search. After the search has been completed, a table displays the groups that match your search criteria.
  8. Highlight the name of the group whose group whose group assignment is to be duplicated for the previously selected groups, and click OK. The group membership of the group is duplicated for the previously selected groups
