# GroupServerParentRole

The parent role that the Community component adds new roles to after it queries the group server. If you do not specify a parent role, Community 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 `[Security]` section).

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

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

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

Type: | String
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Security or `MySecurityRepository`
Example: | `GroupServerParentRole=users`
