Let G be the Banach-Lie group of all holomorphic automorphisms of the open unit ball $$B_\mathfrak{A} $$ in a J*-algebra $$\mathfrak{A}$$ of operators. Let $$\mathfrak{F}$$ be the family of all collectively compact subsets W contained in $$B_\mathfrak{A} $$ . We show that the subgroup F ⊂ G of all those g ∈ G that preserve the family $$\mathfrak{F}$$ is a closed Lie subgroup of G and characterize its Banach-Lie algebra. We make a detailed study of F when $$\mathfrak{A}$$ is a Cartan factor.
