At the moment only by do it manually for each rule.
(Or some DB hacking maybe :-D )
But is absolutely something i also want to see in the interface. Don't know if there is already a feature request for that (Anyway no votes left at the moment...)
I'm not sure I understand what's going on in this thread. If you change the name of a group from any place you are allowed to edit it, that change is universal, and is reflected everywhere the group is used. That's because the "real" name of all objects is "REF_" plus a random sequence of characters. You cannot change the "real" name, but you always can change the identifier you assign to the object.
If you want to see this in action, create a netowrk definition leaving the 'Name' field empty. When you press Save, you'll find that the Astaro used the "real" name in that field, for exmple, REF_tZICEkXTMi. Copy and paste that name somewhere to save it, and rename the Network to "_Test". Now, go to 'Support >> Advanced' 'Resolve REF_' and paste the saved name into the resolve field.
OK. Perhaps i wasn't precise enough. I didn't mean the groups one can create in definitions. I mean the groups , you "can" add a "Packet Filter" rule to. For example, i added a rule, that is called "internet" , where i allow some IP to use "http" and "https". In addition, i may choose to add this rule to a new "group" i can create and the same time or to an existing group. And this group's name is what i want to change.
Ahhhh... now I get it! Whity's answer is correct. The only thing you can do is edit each individual rule to change its grouping. When a group is empty, the group name is deleted.
You could probably change it via CC in the console; note that this tool has the potential to render your ASG dead in the water, so if you try it, get a good backup first.
Currently this isnt going to be something you can automate, as even from CC the group name is a simple string vs a central REF'd object. Hence in CC you can change the group name from OBJS-->packetfilter-->packetfilter-->REF_c***xx but it won't save any time vs. doing it in webadmin most likely.
Its something we should change, I've made a note of that. You should be able to change/edit PF group names and even pick your desired group colors...
