Creating a Subgroup

If group hierarchies are supported in your authentication realm, you can create a subgroup of the root group from the GUI or by using the CLI.

GUI

Prerequisites

A root group must already exist.

Procedure

  1. Select Governance > Users & Groups and click the Groups tab.
  2. Click a root group.
  3. Click New Subgroup.
    The group dialog displays on the right.
  4. Type the group name and description in the respective fields.
  5. Click Save.
    The group is added to the list in the Groups tab as a child of the parent root group and is selected.

CLI

Procedure

  1. In the data file specify a parent group in base format and child group definition in full format. 
    <Group xsi:type="amxdata_base:Group_base"
 name="acme">
 <Group xsi:type="amxdata:Group"
 name="sales">
 </Group>
  2. In the build file set the action attribute of the AMXAdminTask element to add and the objectSelector attribute to Group/Group. 
    <AMXAdminTask
action="add"
objectSelector="Group/Group"/>
  3. Invoke the command-line interface on the build file.
