To be able to create a new group in the GEANT AAI Service, you need to fulfill at least one of these requirements:

  • To be a manager of the GEANT VO → Then you can create any new group (even the top-level one)
  • To be a manager of any existing Group in the GEANT VO → Then you can create a sub-group under any Group you are a manager of.

As both of these operations are similar, this guide will focus primarily on creating a new sub-group from the perspective of a Group manager.



Step 1:

Access the GEANT AAI Service and get into your home Dashboard - https://vo.aai.geant.org/home

Find the Group under which you want to create a new sub-group using this guide:

How to find an existing Group where I am a manager








Step 2:
Click on the Subgroups button to open the setting for all sub-groups of this Group.








Step 3:

In the Subgroups setting you can see all current sub-groups this Group already has.

To create a new one, click on the green "Create subgroup..." button.








Step 4:

In the open form you need to fill some basic information:

  • Name - mandatory
  • Description - optional (but recommended)

Then click on the green button "Create".








Step 5:

Find your newly created sub-group in the list.


Note that you can always find it using the standard guide: How to find an existing Group where I am a manager
