  1. On the Action menu, click Find to display the Find window.
  2. In the Find box, click Groups.
  3. In the In box, select the domain, container or Managed Unit you want to search, or click Browse to locate a domain, container or Managed Unit.
  4. Type in a name, a description, or both:
    • In the Name box, type the name (or a part of the name) of the group you want to find.
    • In the Description box, type the description (or a part of the description) of the group you want to find.
  5. Click Find Now to start your search.

NOTE:
  • You can manage found groups directly from the list in the Find window: right-click a list item, and then use commands on the shortcut menu to perform management tasks.
  • In the Find window, You can use the Group Type tab in order to limit your search to groups of certain categories. Select the Show only groups check box, select the check boxes specific to the categories of the groups you want to find, and then click Find Now. For instance, you can select the Distribution check box tosearch for groups that have the group type set to Distribution, or you can select both the Global and Universal check boxes to search for groups that have the group scope set to either Global or Universal.
  • For more information on how to search for groups, see Steps for searching for a user, contact, or group earlier in this document.
  • You can use the Advanced tab for more powerful search options. For details, see Steps for using advanced search options earlier in this document.

Steps for finding groups in which a user is a member

To find groups in which a user is a member

  1. In the console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the user account.
  2. In the details pane, right-click the user account, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the Member Of tab.

NOTE:

  • The Member Of tab for a user displays a list of groups in the domain where the user’s account is located. Active Roles does not display groups that reside in trusted domains.
  • On the Member Of tab, you can select the Show nested groups check box in order for the list to also include the groups to which the user belongs because of group nesting.

Copying a group

To create a copy of a group, right-click the group, click Copy, and follow the instructions in the wizard. The first step of the wizard looks as shown in the following figure.

Figure 11: Copying a group

The copy contains the same permission settings as the original group. The Copy Object ‑ Group wizard allows you to modify the membership list of the new group.

Steps for copying a group

To copy a group

  1. In the console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the group that you want to copy.
  2. In the details pane, right-click the group you want to copy, and then click Copy to start the Copy Object - Group wizard.
  3. Follow the wizard pages to specify properties of the new group, such as the group name, pre-Windows 2000 name, description, membership list, and Exchange address settings.
  4. If you want to set values for additional properties (those for which the wizard pages do not provide data entries), click Edit Attributes on the completion page of the wizard.
  5. After setting any additional properties for the copy of the group, click Finish on the completion page of the wizard.

NOTE:

  • The behavior of the wizard pages may vary depending on the configuration of Active Roles policies. To determine whether a given item on a page is under the control of a certain policy, observe the text label next to the item: the underlined text label indicates that some policy restrictions are in effect. Click underlined text labels to examine the policies that govern the behavior of the wizard pages.
  • By default, some commonly-used properties are carried over to the newly copied group from the original group. Thus, the group membership list is copied from the original group, and can be modified in the Copy Object - Group wizard.
  • The group scope and group type are also copied from the original group, but these properties cannot be modified in the Copy Object - Group wizard. You can change these properties after the copy of the group is created. For instructions, see Steps for converting a group to another group type and Steps for changing group scope later in this document.
  • You can use the Find function of Active Roles in order to locate the group that you want to copy. Once you have found the group, you can start the Copy Object - Group wizard from the Find dialog box: Right-click the group in the list of search results and click Copy.
