Group Console

Group Console is a tool for you to browse groups on the developer portal.

It allows you to make the following operations:

Listing Groups

To browse the list of all groups, launch the group console with the following steps.

  1. Select the application on the developer portal.
  2. Click on the "Users" icon.
  3. Select "Group Console".

This will bring up a list of all groups like this:

The first two hundred groups will be displayed. When the group scrolls to the end of the result set, the next page of groups is fetched and displayed. This continues until there are no more groups to fetch.

Filtering Groups

You can freely filter the group list. To filter the list, select how you want to filter the list (i.e., by the group ID, group name, or group owner) with the pull-down menu and click "+" icon.

Then, select the condition (i.e., "is", "is not", or "begins with") and the value.

You can set multiple conditions by clicking the "+" button. When you are setting multiple conditions, please select how you want to concatenate them with the radio button (i.e., "Match ALL" or "Match Any").

You can remove a condition by clicking the "-" button.

When all conditions are set, click the "Search" button to update the group list.

Adding New Groups

Clicking the "Add Group" button brings up the following form:

Type in the group name and (optionally) the group ID and click the "Add" button. If you do not specify the group ID, Kii Cloud will assign the group ID automatically.

You can also set a group owner at the same time. To set the owner, put a check on "Register a group Owner".

Select how you want to search the target user (i.e., by login name, by display name, by email, by phone number, or by user ID) with the pull-down menu. Then, type in the identifier of the target user.

As you type in the identifier, a list of candidates will show up for your convenience. Select the target user from the candidate list.

Editing Groups

Clicking a group in the list will bring up the edit screen like this:

You can perform the following operations:

Change the group name

Type in a new group name in the Name section and click the "Save" button.

Change the group owner

Click the "Owner" tab will bring up the group owner information.

Note: if you create a new group with no owner, the screen will show "No group owner" when you click the "Owner" tab.

To change the group owner, click the "Edit" button.

Then select how you want to search the target user (i.e., by login name, by display name, by email, by phone number, or by user ID) with the pull-down menu. Then, type in the identifier of the target user.

As you type in the identifier, a list of candidates will show up for your convenience. Select the target user from the candidate list.
