Add groups to other groups

Before you begin

See Create groups.


To add a group to one or more parent groups defined in the WebLogic Authentication provider:

  1. In the left pane select Security Realms.
  2. On the Summary of Security Realms page select the name of the realm (for example, myrealm).
  3. On the Settings for Realm Name page select Users and Groups > Groups.
  4. In the groups table, click the name of the group that you want to add to another group.

    If you have a large number of groups, use the Customize this table link to retrieve and list only the groups that match your search criteria. Under Filter, specify filtering criteria (a text string) in the Criteria text box. Use the asterisk (*) as the wildcard character to display only those groups containing that string in their names.

    Note: The Administration Console displays a maximum of 1000 groups. If the number of groups that are defined exceeds 1000, you can apply a search filter to limit the display.

  5. On the Settings for Group Name page, select Membership.

    The Parent Groups: Available list shows the parent groups to which you can add the group.

  6. Add or remove groups:
    • To add a group to one or more parent, select the parent(s) and click the right arrow to move the selection from the Available list to the Chosen list.
    • To add a group to all available parents, click the double right arrows (>>).
    • To remove a group from a parent, select the parent in the Chosen list and click the left arrow.
    • To remove a group from all parent groups in which it is currently a member, click the double left arrows (<<).
  7. Click Save.
