Adding Group to an Organization
To create a new group, you must have the Manage Organizations permission in CentraSite.
The following general guidelines apply when adding a group:
*A group can be empty.
*Each user can be assigned to zero, one, or more than one group.
*To add a group to an organization
1. In the CentraSite Business UI activity bar, click Organizations.
2. Click an organization to that you want to add the group.
This opens the Organization Details page. Also, the actions bar displays a set of actions that are available for working with the displayed organization.
3. On the actions bar of the Organization Details page, click Add Group.
4. In the Add Group dialog box, do one of the following:
*To add a new local group, type the name of the group in the field labeled Create a new Group, click Add and assign users to the group.
*To import a group from an external user repository, type the name of the external group in the field labeled Import an external Group, and click Add.
When you import an external group, you can also select the option Import all group members as users. This ensures that all of the users defined in the external group are also added as users to the group in CentraSite. Since the group is assigned to a specific organization, the users is assigned to the same organization.
The newly created group is added to the organization and to the CentraSite registry or repository.
