IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager, Version 2.0.2

Creating groups

A group represents a privilege inIBM® Security Privileged Identity Manager. It determines set of tasks aIBM Security Privileged Identity Manager user can perform.

Before you begin

If a new group requires a new business unit, create the business unit first. To limit group activities, you might create an extra view or access control item after you create a group. You might create an access control item on the IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager service before creating a group. If the group does not previously exist, the access control item does not have the intended membership.

About this task

You can use the Create Group wizard to create more groups.

Procedure

To create a group, complete these steps:

From the navigation tree, click Manage Groups. The Select Group page is displayed.
In the Groups table, click Create. The Create Group page is displayed.
In the Create Group wizard, complete these steps:
1. On the General Information page, complete the expected fields. Click Next to display the Access Information page, or click Finish to complete the operation without adding any members to the group.
2. Optional: On the Group Membership page, add members to the group, and then click Next to display the Schedule Add Member Operation page.
3. On the Schedule Add Member Operation page, specify when to add the members to the group, and then click Finish. The Schedule Add Member Operation page is displayed only if you chose to add members to the group on the Group Membership page.

Results

You can create another group, add or remove members for the new group, or click Close to close the page.

If the new group is created on the IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager service, you can create an access control item to associate with this group.
