Reduce multiple groups to one group

An organized Active Directory should have a limited number of groups. Using ARM, you can combine historically accumulated and unnecessary groups.

The following example describes how to create a central help desk group. ARM allows you to copy all targeted members and combine them into one group.

1. Log in to the Access Rights Manager application.

2. On the toolbar, click Multiselection.

3. Apply the appropriate filters to locate the targeted groups.

   

4. In the Name column, select the targeted groups.

   

5. Under Multiple elements, click the Children tab, select all desired users, and copy them to the clipboard. For example, press CTRL+A and then CTRL+C.

   

6. In the left pane, right-click and select Create new user or group.

7. In the Create account within Active Directory window, configure the options.

   1. In the Common Name field, enter a name for the group.

      

   2. Maximize Members.

   3. In the Accounts field, click Paste.

      All members of the previously selected groups are now in the new Central Help Desk group.

      

   4. (Required) Enter a comment about reducing multiple groups to one group.

      

   5. Click Immediately to create the new account or select another option.
