IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

tacmd createUserGroup

Description

Use the tacmd createUserGroup command to create a new user group in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. A group can have members and also be a member of another group as allowed by the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server. The user ID and password for Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server log in are required by this command. To create a new group, the log in user must have the following permissions on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal:
  • User Administration -> Login
  • User Administration -> View
  • User Administration -> Modify
Note: If you want to use the current tacmd tepsLogin values for username, password, and server hostname, do not enter any of these options for the createUserGroup command. If you specify values for some, but not all of these options, you are prompted to specify the username and password if they are missing.
