Crowd 2.1 : Adding a Group or Role
This page last changed on Nov 30, 2010 by smaddox.
Adding a Group or Role via the Administration Console
Importing Groups from Other ApplicationsYou can also add groups (not roles) via Crowd's migration tools. See Importing Users and Groups into a Directory. Group AuthorisationSee Specifying which Groups can access an Application. Roles are DeprecatedAs previously announced, roles are now deprecated in Crowd. We have not changed the functionality of roles in Crowd 2.1, but we do recommend that you move away from the use of roles in your Crowd installation so that you will not be adversely affected by the planned redesign of role functionality. Roles are disabled by default when you create a new LDAP directory. We recommend that you leave roles disabled, unless you have existing data that includes roles. At present, the implementation of roles in Crowd is identical to the implementation of groups. This design does not provide much useful functionality, so we are planning to redesign the way Crowd supports roles. If you would like to help us to design better role-based access control, please add a comment to the improvement request CWD-931, letting us know how you would like to see it work. RELATED TOPICS
