Viewing, creating, editing, and deleting groups

View a list of the groups in the database, and create, edit, and delete groups.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Rational® DOORS® as a database manager or a custom user who has the power to create groups.
  2. Click Tools > Manage Users in the database explorer, and select the Groups tab to see a list of groups. If a group is disabled, it is marked disabled group icon.

    If the Rational Directory Server is being used to manage users, you need to enter a filter and click Refresh to see a list of groups. To display a list of all groups, use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard.

  3. On the Groups tab:
    • To create a group, click New.
    • To copy a group, select the group and click Copy.
    • To edit a group, select it and click Edit.
    • To delete a group, select it and click Delete.
    • To find a group, enter a name in Group name, and click Find. To list all groups, enter an asterisk (*) as a wildcard.
    Note: Copying an existing group saves time because you do not need to set up the group membership information. The new group starts off with the same members as the existing group.
  4. In the Group name field, type a name for the group. The group cannot have the same name as any existing group or user. Use the arrow buttons to add and remove users.

What to do next

You can specify which users have access to read and modify information about groups and their members. If a user has no access to a group, they cannot see the group. They can still be a member of the group and have the access rights for the group. By default, all users have full access to groups. To edit the access rights for a group:
  1. Select the group and click Edit.
  2. Select the Access tab, and use the Add, Remove, and Edit buttons to change the access rights for users and groups.
