Chapter 4, Managing Users and Groups 101
Managing Groups
The “Find all groups whose” Field
The Find all groups whose field allows you to build a custom search filter. Use
this field to narrow down the search results that are otherwise returned by Find
groups. For more information regarding how to build a custom search filter, see
“Building Custom Search Queries,” on page 87.
To display all of the group entries contained in the Look Within directory,
enter either an asterisk (*) or simply leave this text field blank.
Editing Group Attributes
To edit a group entry, perform the following steps:
1.
Access the Enterprise Administration Server and choose the Users & Groups
tab.
2.
Click the Manage Groups link.
3.
Locate the group you want to edit, and type the desired changes.
For more information regarding how to find specific entries, refer to the
concepts outlined in “Finding Group Entries,” on page 100.
Note
You can change the Enterprise Administration Server user from root to another
user on the operating system to enable multiple users (belonging to the group)
to edit/manage the configuration files. However, note that while on UNIX
platforms, the installer can give “rw” permissions to a group for the
configuration files, on Windows NT platforms, the user must belong to the
“Administrators” group.
For more information about editing group attributes, see “The Manage Groups
Page,” in the online help.
Note
It is possible that you will want to change an attribute value that is not
displayed by the group edit form. In this situation, use the Directory Server
ldapmodify
command line utility, if available.
