Create a Custom Group

You can create a custom application user group in CA EEM. To grant that group rights, add the group to policies and select appropriate actions. Finally, assign the group to individual user accounts.

Note: The policies to which you must add a custom group depend on whether you base the group on an existing group.

Follow these steps:

  1. Browse to CA EEM and log in.
  2. Click the Manage Identities tab.
  3. Click Groups.
  4. On the Groups panel, click the New Application Group button next to Application Groups to create a custom group.
  5. Enter a name for the group in the Name field.
  6. (Optional) Enter a description for the group.
  7. (Optional) In the Application Group Membership selection group, select PAMUsers to include permissions for basic access. In this case, you can limit the permissions that you grant to this custom group. You do not need to grant permissions that are granted to the PAMUsers group.

    Note: If you leave the Selected User Groups area blank, the custom group must include permissions for basic access.

  8. Click Save.

    The product displays the new group as an application user group option when you define new users.

  9. (Optional) Select Show application groups under Search Groups, and then click Go.

    The product displays your new group with other groups (including the default groups).

  10. Click Close.
