Viewing Resources Mapped to a Group or Position

You can select a group or position and see which resources are mapped to that group or position.

Procedure

  1. In the Organization Browser, click the Groups button to view the resources in a group, or the Organizations button to view the resources in a position.
  2. Ensure that the correct version of the organization model is displayed using the Version selection.
  3. Using the Tree View button () or Columns View button (), choose how you want the groups or positions displayed, in a column format or tree format.
  4. If required, drill down into the group or position hierarchy to expose the group or position to which you want to view resources.
    The number in the parentheses to the right of each group and position name is the number of resources that are currently mapped to that group/position.
  5. Select the group or position for which you want to view the mapped resources by clicking the check box to the left of the group or position name, then click Show Resources.
    The list of resources that are mapped to the selected group/position is displayed in the left pane.
    Note: If you select a group or position that contains one or more resources from an LDAP server that is currently offline, a message is displayed informing you that the resource list cannot currently be viewed.
    Note: Also note that an alternative approach is to double-click on a group or position that has resources mapped to it. This causes a dialog to display that lists the resources mapped to that group or position. This dialog also contains a Map Resources button that, when clicked, displays the "Resource" view, that is, the resource list for the group or position that was double clicked.

Result

This list of resources works in the same way as the list of resources in a container, that is, you can select a resource in this list to display details about that resource, or map them to other groups or positions.

Note: You might not be able to see all resources mapped to a particular position because there are resources mapped to that position that were created in an LDAP container for which you don’t have visibility (because of an organization relationship). (This applies only to positions, not to groups.) Note, however, that the counts shown to the right of the position name is the total count for the resources in the position. From this count, you can determine if there are resources mapped to the position that you cannot see. For more information, see Container Organization Relationships.

Returning to the Resource List

Note that once you display a resource list, you can navigate to other areas of the Organization Browser (for example, to view LDAP containers), then easily return to the previously displayed resource list by clicking the Resources button in the top-level header bar of the Organization Browser.
