The format SecurityGroups describes a number of security groups to import to F2 using the EsdhAdm importSecurityGroups command.

This is the root element of the configuration file. It consists of a number of SecurityGroupsForAuthority elements - zero or more. This element contains a list of security groups along with an identification of which authority in F2 they should belong to. Definition of which authority the security groups should belong to. A list of security groups to create or update - may be empty. This element determines which authority the security groups are created in. Synchronizationkey of the authority to import groups to. This must match the synchronizationkey of an authority in F2. Represents a list of groups. The list may be empty. A group to import or update. Represents a security group. The group is identified by the synchronizationkey. If a group with this synchronizationkey does not exist in F2, it will be created by the importprogram. If it already exists, its name will be updated. Identification of the group. The synchronizationkey must be unique - ie the same synchronizationkey cannot be used for multiple groups. Furthermore the synchronizationkey cannot be used as synchronizationkey for other F2 objects - fx an organization or authority. The synchronizationkey is a string. Name of the security group. The group name must be unique inside the authority. When creating a security group a role type is automatically created. Include this element if you want to specify the name and/or synchronizationkey for this role type. If no RoleType is present, the group will be created without a synchronization-key and with a default name ("Member of ..."). The RoleType element specifies properties of the role type that is created for the security group. Giving users access to the security group is done by assigning a role of this role type to the user. Identification of the role type. The synchronizationkey is a string. When referring to the role type in AD (Active Directory) use this synchronizationkey. If the SynchronizationKey element is not specified, then the role type will be created without a synchronizationkey, or if the role type already exists, the synchronization key will be left unchanged. Name of the role type. If the Name element is not specified, then a standard name will be used when creating the role type, or if the the role type already exists, the name will be left unchanged.
