Set Up Federated Security Wizard - Create groups

Use this page to create one or more user groups. Groups are collections of users who share access authority to protected resources.

You can define groups for users who access the same applications or hardware, perform the same tasks, or have similar requirements for accessing PowerHA® SystemMirror tasks and information.

Fields

Name
Specify a unique name for the group that you are creating. Group names must not begin with a hyphen (-), plus sign (+), at sign (@), or tilde (~). Additionally, you cannot use any of the following characters in the name: colon (:), single quotation mark (’), double quotation mark ("), pound sign (#), comma (,), equal sign (=), forward slash (/), backslash (\) or a space ( ).
Group ID
Specify a unique decimal integer string to associate with the group account on the system. If you do not specify an ID, an ID is assigned for you.
Administrative Group
Select whether this group is an administrative group. Only the root user can manage an administrative group. The default value is Yes. If you select No, the root user and any user that is a member of the security group can manage this group.
Registry
Shows the type of registry that you selected in the Configure registry step of this wizard. This is the storage location for all information and credentials for the group.
Users
Specify one or more users to be part of this group. Click Find to select users from a list of all PowerHA SystemMirror users.
Administrators
Specify one or more administrator users to be part of this group. Click Find to select users from a list of all PowerHA SystemMirror administrator users.
