The following topics explain how to manage a group.

#### Creating a new group

2. In the Group tab, click the Create a New Group link.
3. In the New Group dialog, specify the settings for the new group.
4. When done, click OK, and the new group will then be added into the group list table.
5. Click the Group tab again to return to the group list table.

#### Modifying a group

1. In the Realm tab, select the realm in which the group is.
2. In the Group tab, click the name of the group.
3. In the Edit Group dialog, edit the group information as required.
4. When done, click OK to accept the changes.

#### Editing members of a group

You can edit members of a group, such as adding a new member, or removing a member from the group by clicking the member(s) link of the group in the group list table.

Notes:

- A group can have more than one child member and parent member.
- A parent member cannot be added to the current group as its child member.

#### Deleting a group

If you find a group is no longer required, you can delete it by clicking the corresponding Delete link in the Control column of the group list table. However, groups that are not empty, having child members or parent members, cannot be deleted.
