Groups and the Directory Tree
You can view the list of groups using the directory tree. Click the expand icon to view
Custom groups, System groups and Directory Service groups. By continuing to expand
the tree, you can view the parent group and each child group associated with it. To display
detailed group information, select the Group name. Use the
View drop-down list to access
the functions within the Groups page.
Parent and Child Groups
The nesting of groups enables the creation of hierarchical relationships that can be used to
define inherited group membership. Using the policy inheritance feature, you can use parent
groups to apply the same policies to multiple child groups.
A Parent and Child group relationship refers to a group that contains one or more group
hierarchies underneath it. Each group must have one, and only one parent, however a
parent group can have multiple children groups.
As a result of the parent-child relationship, there are hierarchies within groups:
• Group Hierarchy - Refers to the entire group hierarchy from the original to the deepest
child group.
• Parent Hierarchy - Refers to the entire group hierarchy above a specific group.
• Child Hierarchy - Refers to the entire subordinate group hierarchy below a specific group.
• Inheritance - Refers to the permissions a group has set. A group must have their
inheritance settings set to True in order to inherit the settings of its parent.
NOTE
: System and Directory Service group hierarchies cannot be modified.
