Creating Group Objects
A Group object represents a set of User objects.You can create Group
objects to help you manage sets of User objects.
While container objects let you manage all User objects in that container,
Group objects are for subsets within a container or in multiple containers.
Group objects give you a way to assign roles and tasks to a number of User
objects at the same time. For more information, see “Assigning RBS Role
Membership and Scope” on page 24.

2 Click eDirectory > Create Object.
3 Select Group from the list of object types > click Next.
4 Specify a name and context for the Group > click Next.
5 Click OK.
Deleting Objects
You can’t delete a container object unless you first delete all its contents.
1 Click the Roles and Tasks button .
2 Click eDirectory Administration > Delete Object.
3 Specify the name and context of object you want to delete.

Browsing and Finding Objects
The eDirectory Object Selector page lets you search or browse for objects. In
most entry fields in iManage, you can enter an object name and context, or you
can click the Object Selector button to search or browse for the object you
want. Selecting an object in the eDirectory Object Selector page inserts the
object and the object’s context into the entry field.
Use the techniques described below to locate the specific objects you want to
manage.
