4.2 Changing a group

You can make changes to a group, including which roles can be placed in the group and whether it is disabled or not.

  1. Select the People category and then Amend Group.

    You can also launch this workflow from the Group Management section of the More category in the MyID Operator Client. See the Using Group Management workflows section in the MyID Operator Client guide for details.

    A list of available groups is displayed after a brief pause.

  2. Select the group you want to change and click Continue.

    If you select the wrong group, click the Group button to display the list again.

  3. Make your changes.

    You can change the basic details of the group, including whether it is enabled or disabled.

  4. Optionally, set the following license options:

    • Device Assignment End Date – select the last date on which you can assign or issue devices for this group. After this date, you will no longer be able to assign or issue devices to people in this group.

    • Maximum Number of Assigned Devices – type the maximum number of devices you can assign or issue to this group. Once the number of devices assigned or issued to people in this group reaches this number, you will no longer be able to assign or issue devices to people in this group.

  5. Click the icon to the right of Roles and select the roles that can be placed in this group from the list.

    Note: If you do not select any roles, and leave the option displaying 0 Role(s), this means that the group is unrestricted and all roles are available to the group.

    Note: Changes to the roles that can be selected do not affect existing accounts; if you edit the roles for a user, you can select from the currently-available roles for the user's group, and must remove any roles that are no longer allowed, but MyID does not add or remove roles from a user automatically.

  6. For information on setting up the Default Roles, see the Default roles section in the Administration Guide.

  7. From the Enabled drop-down list, select Enabled to enable the group, or Disabled to disable the group.

    Warning: If you disable a group, all accounts within it are also disabled.

    If you disable a group, you must select a reason. See section 6.5, Certificate reasons for details.
