# GroupServerParentRole

The parent role that IDOL Server adds new roles to after it queries the group server. If you do not specify a parent role, IDOL Server adds new roles that it creates to the top role in the hierarchy.

NOTE: This parameter has an effect only for repositories where you have set SyncRolesFromGroups to `True` (either in the individual repository, or in a default value in the `[UserSecurity]` section).

To specify a parent role for all repositories, set `GroupServerParentRole` to `rolename` in the `[UserSecurity]` section.

To specify a parent role for an individual repository, set `GroupServerParentRole` to `rolename` in the `[MySecurityRepository]` section for the individual security type.

NOTE: IDOL Server automatically creates parent roles if they do not already exist when it queries the group server.
