In Enterprise Manager release 12c you can convert conventional groups to privilege propagating groups (and vice-versa) through the use of the specified EM CLI verb. Two new parameters have been added in the modify_group EM CLI verb:

• privilege_propagation

  This parameter is used to modify the privilege propagation behavior of the group. The possible value of this parameter is either true or false.

• drop_existing_grants

  This parameter indicates whether existing privilege grants on that group are to be revoked at the time of converting a group from privilege propagation to normal (or vice versa). The possible values of this parameter are yes or no. The default value of this parameter is yes.

These same enhancements have been implemented on the following EM CLI verbs: modify_system, modify_redundancy_group, and modify_aggregrate_service.

The EM CLI verb is listed below:

emcli modify_group
   -name="name"
   [-type=<group>]
   [-add_targets="name1:type1;name2:type2;..."]...
   [-delete_targets="name1:type1;name2:type2;..."]...
   [-privilege_propagation = true/false]
   [-drop_existing_grants = Yes/No]
