Home / Identity Administration / User Accounts and Groups / Current: Adding Groups to Groups
EmpowerID allows you to easily add one or more groups as members of another group. When you do so, members of the added groups gain any entitlements and delegations associated with the group to which they are being added. For example, if you a group with a policy that specifies that members of that group have a home folder, and you add a group without such a policy to that group, then the members of the group without the policy will be given a home folder.
This topic demonstrates how to add groups to groups in EmpowerID.
EmpowerID must first be connected to an external account directory, like Active Directory. For more information, see Connecting to Active Directory. |
Search for the group in which you want to nest another group and then click the record for that group. A list of contextual actions that can be executed against that group appear in the Actions pane.
In the following image, the Locations pane has been collapsed to conserve screen real estate. |
From the View One page, expand the Nested Group Members accordion to verify that records for the new members appear.
If you have an email address that is registered in EmpowerID, you can have EmpowerID email you the group membership by clicking the email icon. |
On a server with the Active Directory PowerShell module, run the following PowerShell cmdlet (substituting the group in the cmdlet with the group you nested):
Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership "London Contractors GVR1" |
