Groups tab ๐Ÿš€

Next to the Users tab, you will find the Groups tab. This tab lists all groups configured for the selected actor.

You can add groups to the actor in two ways:

  • by clicking NEW to create a brandโ€‘new group

  • by clicking BIND to associate an existing Data Mover group with the actor.

Use BIND when the group already exists in Data Mover and only needs to be linked to the actor.

The results list can be navigated with the toolbar.

Create a new group and associate it with the actor

  1. Click the NEW button.

  2. In the New Group window, fill in these fields:

    1. Group name (*): enter the name to assign to the group.

    2. Users: type the name of the user you want to assign to the group. Type at least 3 characters. Note that the field is case-sensitive. All matching users will be listed. Double-click the username of the User you want to add to the group. To remove the user, click the icon next to the userโ€™s name.

  3. Click CREATE to confirm and associate the new group with the actor.

Associate an existing group with the actor

  1. Click the BIND button.

  2. In the Bind Group section of the window, search for the group you want to associate with the actor. Type at least 3 characters, note that the field is case-insensitive. All groups matching the entered characters will be listed. Double click the group you want to associate with the actor.

  3. Click the BIND GROUP button to associate the group with the actor.

For more information on group management, refer to the Users & Groups section.

Group menu options

The 3โ€‘dot icon next to each group provides the following options:

  • Unassign from Actor: removes the group from the selected actor. The group remains available in Data Mover but is no longer associated with this specific actor.

  • Unbind from repository: completely removes the association between the group and the Data Mover repository. After unbinding, the group is no longer available for association with any actor unless recreated or reimported.

  • Edit: opens the group details so you can modify the group name or the list of users assigned to the group.

  • Delete: permanently deletes the group from the system. Deleted groups cannot be recovered and will be removed from all associated actors.

Filters panel

Groups can be filtered using the Filters panel.

In the Search Group field, enter the full group name or part of it, then press Enter on your keyboard or click Apply.

  • The search field is caseโ€‘insensitive.

  • You can run a search even by typing a single character (letter or number).

  • Wildcard characters are not supported.

To reset the filter, click Clear all.
