If the predefined groups in Guardium®
Data Security Center do
not suit your needs, you can manually create your own groups.
Before you begin
By default, you must be assigned the
Administrator
role to be able to manage groups.
Important: If you have policy
rules that use groups as rule conditions, modifying the groups by adding or removing members will
result in reactivation of group members.
To open the Groups page, select
in the
main menu. Open this menu by clicking the main menu icon (
).
Procedure
- Click Add group to open the Create a group
dialog box.
- Name: Enter a name for the group (maximum 255
characters). This name is used to distinguish this group from other groups in Guardium
Data Security Center.
- Type: Choose the type of group that you are
creating.
Important: You cannot change the group type after creating the group.
- Optional: Description:
Enter a description for the group. This field accepts a maximum of 1000 characters.
- Optional: Set as a parent group that only
contains other groups: Select this checkbox if you want to set the group to be a parent
group.
Parent groups: Some groups in
Guardium
Data Security Center are parent groups without members of
their own. These groups accept only child groups and they become populated when you add or import
groups to them. Note these conditions that apply when importing
groups that have the same name as existing Guardium
Data Security Center groups:
- Predefined parent groups: If you import a group from a Guardium central
manager that has the same name as a Guardium
Data Security Center predefined group, the imported group will become a
child of the predefined group. The name of the imported child group will be the original name of the
group, plus the name of the central manager appended to
it.
- User-defined parent groups: If you import a group from a Guardium central
manager that has the same name as a Guardium
Data Security Center user-defined group, the imported group will become
a new group in Guardium
Data Security Center (the name of the imported
child group will be the original name of the group, plus the name of the central manager appended to it).
- Click Save.
