Once a group has been assigned to an IT Shop shelf, it can be requested by the shop customers. To ensure it can be requested, further prerequisites need to be guaranteed.

The group must be labeled with the IT Shop option.
The group must be assigned to a service item.
If you want the group to be assigned only to employees through the IT Shop, the group must also be marked with the Only use in IT Shop. Direct assignment to hierarchical roles may not be possible.

NOTE: IT Shop administrators can assign groups to the IT Shop shelves if login is role-based. Target system administrators are not authorized to add groups in the IT Shop.

To add a group to the IT Shop

In the Manager, select the Unix > Groups (non role-based login) category.

- OR -

In the Manager, select the Entitlements > Unix groups (role-based login) category.
