Administering action groups
You can use the administration API to create, examine, and delete new action groups.
Each action group can contain up to 32 actions. The default action group, referred to as the primary action group, contains the 18 predefined Verify Identity Access actions, which means you can create up to 14 new actions to the primary group.
When you need to create more than 32 actions, you can use the administration API to define a new action group. Verify Identity Access supports up to 32 action groups.
For more information about action groups, see the section about creating extended ACL actions and action groups in the IBM Verify Identity Access for Web: Administration Guide. Table 1 lists the methods for administering action groups.
