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.

Note: 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 that are performed on the domain are applied to the security domain-specific configuration.

Syntax

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

Parameters

-memberUniqueName uniqueName
Specifies the unique name value 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
Specifies the unique name value for the group to which you want to add the user or group that you specified in the memberUniqueName parameter. This parameter maps to the uniqueName property in virtual member manager.
-securityDomainName domainName
Specifies the name that uniquely identifies the security domain. If you do not specify this parameter, the command uses the global federated repository.
