Home / Identity Administration / User Accounts and Groups / Linux / Current: Creating Linux Groups
When you connect EmpowerID to a Linux system, EmpowerID creates an account store object in the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse with a unique Account Store ID for that connected system. This Account Store ID is bound to each of the Linux groups that EmpowerID inventories from that account store, as well as to any new Linux groups you create in EmpowerID for that account store.
In this way, Linux groups are differentiated from any groups you may have in other connected user directory systems. This allows you to manage fully your Linux groups without affecting the groups contained in other systems.
This topic demonstrates this by showing you how to create new Linux groups for a connected Linux system in EmpowerID.
EmpowerID must be connected to a Linux system. For more information, see Connecting to Linux. |
