From the Directories tree on the Management tab, you can view the objects in your configured directory services. For more information, see Directory Services. You can view and edit the properties of an object, search its directories, import devices, and create new groups.
When you click a directory object in the left navigation tree, you see a list of its children or members in the content pane. The content pane switches between children or members depending on the type of the selected directory object. If the directory object is a container type, you will see its children. If the directory object is a group type, you will see its members.
When you rest the cursor over the name of a child/member object in the list, a drop-down menu becomes available – click the down arrow to display the menu. The options available in the menu vary depending on the hierarchical context in which the object exists and the HPCA features that are currently enabled.
The following table summarizes the actions that you can take from the drop-down menu for a child object.
