About Static Groups

For LDAP services, the Administration Server enables you to create a static group by specifying the same group attribute in the DNs of any number of users. A static group does not change unless a user is added to or deleted from the group.

Guidelines for Creating Static Groups

Consider the following guidelines when using the Administration Server interface to create new static groups:

• Static groups can contain other static or dynamic groups.

• If organizational units are defined for your directory, specify where you want the new group to be placed using the Add New Group To list on the Create Group page in the Administration Server interface. The default location is your directory’s root point, the topmost entry.

• For more information about editing groups, see Editing Group Entries.
