The Local Unix Groups report lists all the groups on a host and the group's membership.
Note: This report is available when you are logged on as the supervisor or an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role.
To create the Local Unix Groups report
- From the mangement console, navigate to Reporting.
- From the Reports view, double-click the Local Unix Groups report name.
The report opens a new Local Unix Groups tab on the Reporting view.
- To locate a specific group, use a combination of the following report parameters:
- Group Name contains
- GID Number is
- Member contains
- Include all group members in report (Always included when exporting to CSV)
Note: The Member contains field accepts multiple entries separated by a comma. Spaces are taken literally in the search. For example, entering:
- adm, user searches for members whose name contains 'adm' or ' user'
- adm,user searches for members whose name contains 'adm' or 'user'.
Note: When you specify multiple report parameters (for example, Group Name contains, GID Number is, and Member contains), it uses the AND expression; therefore, ALL of the selected parameters must be met in order to locate a group.
If you do not specify a group, it includes all local groups on each profiled host in the report. In addition, it includes all of the group members in the report by default, but you can clear the Include all group members in report option.
- Open the Export drop-down menu and select the format you want to use for the report: PDF or CSV.
It launches a new browser or application page and displays the report in the selected format.
Note: When generating multiple reports simultaneously or generating a single report that contains a large amount of data, One Identity recommends that you increase the JVM memory. See JVM memory tuning suggestions for details.
