Working with Groups

As mentioned earlier, groups save the network administrator time by organizing users and by reducing the number of individual settings the network administrator must make. A user gains any right you assign to a group. If you have 10 users assigned to a group, assigning a right to the group is the same as making the change in all 10 user accounts. The only difference is that you don’t have to make the change to each account separately.

To create a new group, right-click the Groups folder and choose New Group from the context menu. You’ll see a New Group dialog box containing the group name, description, and Members field. Type the name of the group and a description. Click Add to add new members, or highlight an existing member and click Remove. After you finish configuring the group, click Create.
