Creating a New Resource

You can create new groups and add new User and Host resources through the New

Resource function. You can also associate attributes with the resource during this process.

This function creates a new resource. To add an existing resource to an existing group, see

“Adding a Resource as a Child of a Group” on page 8-12.

You cannot add resources of any type to the Device Groups or Import Sources

groups, or any subgroups within those groups.

To add a new resource, do the following:

1 IntheComponentTree,selecttheGrouptowhichyouwantthe resource added.To add

a new group at the highest level, select the root “Groups” node. The new resource will

be added as a child of the group you select.

Ifyou planto addUser or Hostresources, it is suggested that you add these initially to

the User or Host groups, or to another group you have created, rather than to the

root-level group. Once you’ve created a resource, you canadd it as a child of other

groups. For example, a User resource “Fred” can be a member of both the group

“Marketing” and the group “Chicago.”

2 Click the New button at the top of the Grouping Manager window.

The Add a New Resource to Group window, as shown in Figure 8-2, is displayed.
