Importing Groups
You can also import groups that are defined in your authentication realm. To avoid retrieving all groups from your authentication domain at once and exceeding the performance limits of the Windchill RV&S server, the Windchill RV&S administration client GUI provides a text search function that allows you to search for groups in your authentication domain. You can then select the groups returned by the search and import them into Windchill RV&S.
* 
Windchill RV&S automatically imports the everyone group from your authentication realm.
To perform a mass import of non-realm groups, use the im importgroup command. For more information, see the CLI man pages.
