To Add Members to a Group

The following procedure applies to LDAP services only.

1. Access the Administration Server and click the Users and Groups tab.

2. Click the Manage Groups link.

3. Locate and display the group you want to manage as described in Finding Group Entries, and click the Edit button next to Group Members.

   Any existing group members are listed on the page that displays. Search fields also display.

   • To add user entries to the list of members, Users must be selected in the Find drop-down list.

   • To add group entries to the group, Groups must be selected.

4. In the Matching text field, enter a search string. Provide information for any of the following options:

   • A name. Enter a full or partial name. All entries whose name matches the search string are returned. If no such entries are found, all entries that contain the search string are found. If no such entries are found, any entries that sound like the search string are found.

   • A user ID. If you enter only a partial user ID, any entries that contain the string are returned.

   • A telephone number. If you enter only a partial number, any entries that have telephone numbers ending in the search number are returned.

   • An e-mail address. Any search string containing an at symbol (@) is assumed to be an e-mail address. If an exact match cannot be found, a search is performed to find all e-mail addresses that begin with the search string.

   • Enter an asterisk (*) or leave this field blank to see all entries or groups currently residing in your directory.

   • Any LDAP search filter. Any string that contains an equal sign (=) is considered to be a search filter.

5. Click Add to find all matching entries in the LDAP database and add them to the group.

6. (Optional) If the search returns any entries you do not want added to the group, click the corresponding checkbox in the Remove From List column. You can also construct a search filter to match the entries you want removed from the group, and then click Remove. For more information, see Removing Entries From the Group Members List.

7. When the list of group members is complete, click Save Changes. The entries are added to the group member list.
