Group Creation and Sub Groups

raywindu — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 04:36:34 GMT

All,Is it at all possible to rename groups once they have been created in a repository or move groups as subgroups post creation? It doesn't appear possible in the 2.2 interface, but wondering if this will be exposed at a later date.Thanks,ray

Hi Ray,

Did you receive any response on this outside of this thread? If you have, or have figured out how this can be achived, i'd be very interested to know.

Thanks
Kayan

I'm also interested in the answer to this question. Specifically, I'd like to rename an existing group. I guess I could create the new group and delete the old group…but the old group is referenced in several dozen workflows, and I don't want to have to change all the workflow references.

Thanks!
Dave C.

You can change the "display name" of a group. However you can't change the underlying full authority name.

AuthorityService public void setAuthorityDisplayName(String authorityName, String authorityDisplayName);

There's also equivalent access from Java Script and Web Scripts in the Labs 3.2 Preview # 1 release.
