Modifying group properties

To modify group properties, right-click the group and click Properties. You can make changes to group properties using the Properties dialog box, shown in the following figure.

Figure 12: Modifying group properties

In the Properties dialog box, some property labels may be displayed as hyperlinks. The hyperlink indicates that Active Roles enforces certain policy restrictions on the property. To examine policy details, click the hyperlink: the policy information is displayed (see Getting policy-related information earlier in this document).

The policy information is also displayed whenever you supply a property value that violates a policy restriction. Property changes cannot be applied until you enter an acceptable value.

You can use the Properties dialog box to view or modify any property of the group: go to the Object tab and click Advanced Properties. In the Advanced Properties window you can manage all properties, including those that cannot be accessed via the Properties dialog box itself.

You can also display the Advanced Properties window as follows: right-click the group and select All Tasks | Advanced Properties.

NOTE: In the console, you can select multiple groups, right-click the selection, click Properties, and then modify properties of all the selected groups collectively via the Properties dialog box.
