addMemberToGroup command

Use this command to add a member to a group.


Purpose

Use the addMemberToGroup command to add a user or a group to a group.

If successful, the addMemberToGroup command returns the unique name of the added member.

If the Use global security settings option is selected for the user realm or the Global federated repositories option is selected as the realm type for the specified domain, this command is executed on the federated repository of the admin domain. However, configuration changes performed on the domain are applied to the security domain-specific configuration.


Syntax

addMemberToGroup { -memberUniqueName uniqueName -groupUniqueName uniqueName
 [-securityDomainName domainName] }


Parameters

-memberUniqueName uniqueName

Unique name for the user or group that you want to add to the specified group. This parameter maps to the uniqueName property in virtual member manager.

-groupUniqueName uniqueName

Unique name for the group to which you want to add the user or group specified in the memberUniqueName parameter. This parameter maps to the uniqueName property in virtual member manager.

-securityDomainName domainName

Name that uniquely identifies the security domain. If not specified, uses the global federated repository.


Sample
