Creating and Editing Groups

You can create and edit groups in the ReflectionGateway directory. You cannot modify the groups in added LDAP servers; however, you can add users from an added LDAP server to your ReflectionGateway directory groups.

There are two ways to change ReflectionGateway group membership.

  • Edit a group

    You can add or delete members from any existing group. If you are creating a new group, you need to create the group first, then modify the members list as a separate step.

    This option allows you to add members of the ReflectionGateway directory and any added LDAP servers.

    Required role: System setup

  • Edit a user

    You can modify the list of groups that a user is a member of.

    This option is available only for members of the ReflectionGateway directory.

    Required roles: System setup and Manage Reflection Gateway users
