Query Designer - Include/Exclude tab

Use this tab to include or exclude an object from group membership, regardless of whether it is returned by the query. The Include and Exclude lists affect group membership at two points in the update process:

  • Immediately – When you close the Query Designer dialog box, the Directory Manager portal adds the objects in the Include list to the group membership and removes the objects in the Exclude list from the group membership. If you have removed objects from the Include list, the group’s membership is updated immediately. However, if you have removed objects from the Exclude list, the group’s membership is updated only by manual update or by a scheduled job.
  • At group membership update – When the group membership is updated using a scheduled job or the Update command, Directory Manager obtains the query results, adds the objects to include, and then removes the objects to exclude.

NOTE: For best performance, use query criteria to include or exclude objects as opposed to statically selecting the objects using this tab.

Include

Displays the list of objects to include in group membership. The list also displays the objects that are imported to the membership of this group using the portal's import feature. Use the Add and Remove buttons to modify this list.

Exclude

Displays the list of objects to exclude from group membership. Use the Add and Remove buttons to modify this list.
