To Add a Group

  1. Click Security under Configure on the menu on the left-hand side of an Enterprise Server Administration Web page.
  2. Click Security Managers.
  3. Select the security manager to which the group will be added by clicking the relevant radio button in the Select column.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. Click Properties.
  6. Click Groups.
  7. Click Add.
  8. Specify the details for the group.

    The group name cannot exceed eight characters and longer names will be truncated to the first eight characters. For more information about the entry fields, please refer to the page help for the screen.

  9. Click Next.
  10. Under Permissions, check each permission that you want to grant to the group. If you want to grant all permissions under the Directory Server Administration or Servers sections, click the appropriate Allow All button.

    The permissions are displayed in an inverted tree structure. Those on lower branches include the permissions on the branches from which they descend. For example, the permission to restore a repository includes the permission to import a repository. Therefore, restore is shown as a descendant of import.

    When you grant a particular permission, any permissions that it includes are automatically granted. Hence, when you check the Restore Repository permission, the Import Repository permission is automatically checked as well.

    Where a check box for a permission is greyed out, it indicates that the permission is included by other permissions that have been granted to the group. To revoke a permission that is included by others, you must first revoke those other permissions.

  11. Type a description of the user in Description.
  12. For each user group of which the user is to be a member, select the group from User groups, and click <--Add.
  13. If you change your mind and want to remove the user from any group, select the group from Member of and click Remove-->.
  14. Click Add.
