To manage local groups, select My Local Groups from the Edit menu. The Local Groups window provides the opportunity to define groups that are visible just to the group creator. Local groups will show up most of the places where global groups do but because local groups are only visible to the local user, situations where a defined group has to be accessible to all users will not include local groups as a selection option.
| o | Click on the Add New Group Name button on the toolbar to bring up an add window. Just complete the provided fields and click on the Add Group button. There is no limit to how many groups can be created. When a new group has been added, the group membership management window will automatically open so you can immediately define the members of the new group. |
| o | Double-click on the group in the table to bring it up in an edit window. Make any applicable changes and click on the Save and Close button in the menu or toolbar. |
| o | Select the group you wish to edit and click the Edit Group Memberships button on the toolbar. |
| o | Select the group you wish to delete and click the Delete button in the toolbar. The built-in default groups cannot be deleted. |
When adding or editing a group, the following fields are available:
| o | The group name defines how this group will be identified throughout the OpsCenter system. The name of the local group can not be the same as any existing global group but two different users can have local groups of the same name. |
When editing a groups membership, the following controls are available:
| o | Users can be added to the group by selecting the user in the Remaining users list and clicking the >>> button. That selected user will then move to the Current group members list. Double-clicking a name will also move it to the opposite list. |
| o | Users can be removed from the group by selecting the user in the Current group members list and clicking the <<< button. That selected user will then move to the Remaining users list. Double-clicking a name will also move it to the opposite list. |
