10.2 Creating an Application Group

If you create a number of remote applications for your Novell Teaming site, you can create application groups for remote applications so they can all be assigned the same roles in the Access Control table. For example, you might have a group of remote applications that are allowed to perform administrative tasks and another group of remote applications that are granted only read access.

  1. As the Teaming site administration, click Manage > Site Administration, then click Manage Application Groups.

    Manage Application Groups page

  2. Click Add a New Application Group.

  3. Fill in the following fields:

    Application Group Title: Specify a unique title for the remote application group. Teaming site users who need to set access controls for a remote application can select the title from the list of available remote application groups.

    Application Group Name: Specify a unique name for the remote application group. The name is for internal use in the Teaming database. The first character must be an alphabetic character (a-z, A-Z). For the rest of the name, you can use alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), hyphens (-), and underscores (_).

    Application Group Description: Provide a description of the types of remote applications that the application group includes.

  4. Click Add to add the application group to the list of application groups that are available on your Teaming site, then select the new application group to add remote applications to it.
