Defining, editing, and deleting groups


You can define a groups that contain certain permissions to an application. You can also assign existing users to a group. During installation, the Administrators and Public groups are created automatically by IBM Alphablox. The Administrators group has full read and write access to all of the applications. The Public group has read access to the applications only. A guest user is automatically assigned to the Public group.

To define a group:

  1. Click the Create button.
  2. In the General Properties tab, provide a group name (required) and description for the group.
    Allowable characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, underscore, or special characters (for example, accented characters) when running in a language other than English. The display of the name is case sensitive but the actual username that is authenticated is case insensitive. The names Public, Private, and Properties are reserved and cannot be used for an object name.
  3. Indicate whether this group will act as a subgroup.
  4. Select the Member Users and/or other Member Groups to add to this group.
    Selected users and groups are highlighted. Use Ctrl-click to select more than one user or group.
    You can click the Select All Users or Select All Groups links to select all users or groups in the list. You can also click the Clear All Users or Clear All Groups links to unselect all users or groups.
