Groups

Groups

You can create several types of groups, or a combination of these types:

• Static group--A list of users who are added interactively
• Dynamic group--Users belong to the group if they meet an LDAP query (Requires an LDAP directory as the user store)

  Note: The Dynamic Group Query field is not included in the Create Group task or other group tasks even if this field exists in the directory.xml for a group. You include Dynamic Group Query field in the task by editing the associated profile screen.

• Nested group--A group containing other groups (Requires an LDAP directory as the user store)

Note: To view the static, dynamic, and nested groups to which a user belongs, use the Groups tab for the User object. This tab appears in the View and Modify User tasks by default.
