WSM & Domain User Group Compare

Security Manager User Group Management can be a powerful tool for an organization that has a lot of groups on the domain server. From the Security Manager User Group Management page, click the WSM & Domain User Group Compare button to see all of your user groups from both Security Manager and the domain server. Then compare one set of groups to the other and synchronize the two environments, if needed. 

About the WSM & Domain User Group Compare dialog

In the WSM & Domain User Group Compare dialog, WSM descriptions, if available, are listed on the left, and domain server descriptions, if available, are listed on the right. The middle column represents the name of the group.  This name could be from WSM or from the domain server.

To help you synchronize environments, arrows point to where a user group does not exist. A right arrow indicates that the user group exists in WSM, but not on the domain server. A left arrow indicates that the user group exists on the domain server, but not in WSM. If a row does not include an arrow, then the user group already exists in both WSM and the domain server.
