Add shows new systems that will be added to the system group and for all authorizations based

on the system group. Systems to Remove shows current systems that will be removed from the

system and from all authorizations using the system group. Systems Unchanged shows a list of

systems that are unaffected by the update. They remain unchanged in the system group and all

authorizations based on the system group.

interface (CLI). However, if there are edits to the system group from the CLI, there is no affect on the source
