Mapping External Groups to EDQ Groups

External groups are mapped to internal EDQ Groups from the Administration pages of the EDQ Launchpad. An external group is granted all permissions from all EDQ groups that it is mapped to.

To map external groups to internal EDQ groups, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to the EDQ Launchpad as an Administrator.
2. Click on the Administration dropdown link, and click on External Groups.
3. Expand the name of the external realm (this is 'ORACLE' on a default system) and click on a group to edit its mappings.
4. Select the EDQ Groups you want to grant to the external group, and click on Save to save the changes.

It is useful and desirable to create some external groups on the domain that can be mapped precisely to internal EDQ groups, to ensure optimal permission assignment.

Note:

For installations with a large number of external user groups, an optional filter can be specified in a local login.properties file to narrow down the list of groups that is available in this screen. See Filtering Groups

for more information.
