Administering groups

Edit online

The administration API provides methods for creating, accessing, listing, and deleting Verify Identity Access group information from the user registry.

The name of a group is not case-sensitive. The following group names all pertain to the same Verify Identity Access group:
  • group
  • GROUP
  • Group
  • GrOuP

The PDGroup.createGroup method creates a group in the user registry that is used by the Verify Identity Access policy server.

Note: When a group definition exists in the user registry, use the PDGroup.importGroup method instead.

The PDGroup.importGroup method imports an existing group definition from the user registry into Verify Identity Access and allows the group definition to be managed by Verify Identity Access.

Table 1 lists the group administration functions.
