Authorizations
Collections can be in the Private collection or in the Shared collection. Private collections are visible
only to the user that created them. Shared collections are viewable by all users. However, only users
with full configuration rights can create, edit, or delete shared collections.
The contents of any collection are determined by the authorizations of the user viewing the collection
contents. While a collection might include many systems when viewed by one user, it might be empty
for another user that is not authorized for any of the systems in the collection. Collection contents are
controlled by authorizations, even for users with full configuration rights.
Command line interface
The command mxcollection enables you to perform operations on a collection that was created by
specifying members individually. These operations include add, modify, remove, list collections, and
list members within the collection. The command mxquery is used to add, modify, list, remove, and
execute collections that were created by specifying attributes (also know as query collections). To get
a list of all of your collections, you must combine the list output from both of the command line
interface (CLI) commands.
New mxcollection CLI options include move, copy, and the ability to create combination
collections.
Copy
Use the mxcollection –cp command to copy a collection under another collection, using a new
name that you specify. The original collection and all its children remain in the original location.
