Duplicating group assignments for a user

You can search for users that match your search criteria. After selecting one or more users, these users can be added as members of the same groups that another existing user is already a member of. For example, if all the members of a department need to belong to the same groups as the department manager, you can duplicate the groups that the manager belongs to for all the other users 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 users.
  2. Select the check boxes next to one or more users 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 users. For example, select User ID.
  5. In the Search for field, either type the string that you want to search for to limit the set of users, or use the wildcard character (*) to search for all users. 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 users that match your search criteria.
  8. Highlight the name of the user whose group membership you want to duplicate for the previously selected users, and click OK. The group membership of the user is duplicated for the previously selected users.
