User groups are a collection of users that share the same
roles and permissions in the repository. User groups can be added
as a group of reviewers in the review process.
Before you begin
You must have a community before you can add users groups
to that community. To create and edit user groups,
you must be a community administrator
or a repository administrator.
Procedure
To create a new user group, add users, and assign roles
to all users in that group:
- Log into Rational® Asset Manager web
client.
- Open the Administration page.

scheduled job will pick up any user information modifications for
the group listed on the LDAP server. After you bind the LDAP group
to this user group, you can no longer modify any of the user's information,
for example a user's name or telephone number, on the Rational Asset
Manager server, it must be modified on the LDAP server.

user group, then click Search.
