Administration Guide › User Accounts › Create a Global Group

Create a Global Group

The ability to create a global group depends on the configuration of the user store. Consider the following:

• If using the default user store, creating global groups is an optional task.
• If referencing an external user store, global groups and user accounts are automatically loaded into the default user store. You can, optionally, create custom policies for these global groups, but you cannot create new global groups.
• If the referenced user store is CA SiteMinder, you can use the global groups defined in this CA product as is or you can create new global groups from existing group memberships.

To create a global group

1. Click the Administration tab and then click the User and Access Management subtab.
2. Click Groups on the left pane.

   The Search Groups and User Groups panes appear.

3. Click the New Global Group button next the Global Groups folder.

   The New Global user Group pane appears.

4. Enter a name and, optionally, a description.
5. If this global group is to contain other global groups, do the following:
   1. Enter search criteria to display a group and click Search.
   2. Move the group you want to include to the Selected Global User Groups list.
   3. Repeat until the list contains all of the groups you want to select.
6. Click Save.

   A confirmation appears.
