Introduction | Information Center
You can create, edit and delete groups. When you click the Create or Edit buttons the following text boxes and drop lists appear under the General Properties, Application Properties, and Memberships tabs in the panel to the right:
This is the name of the group. The group name appears on the Groups page of the Administration tab. You cannot change the group name from this page. To use a different group name, delete this group and create a new one.
This is the group description. You can change the group description from
this page. Generally, you use this to explain the purpose of the group.
For example, the application name might be Assemblers, and the description might be Users Allowed to Create New Applications. The description appears on
the console when using the show
command.
A group designated a subgroup acts as an intersection of other groups. For example, the groups Sales Team and European Team require a subgroup European Sales Team. Rather than creating a new group and trying to add all the individual members, you can create a subgroup.
Sales Team members | European Team members | European Sales Team members |
---|---|---|
Bob Jane Diane Steve Brenda |
Alan Bob James Diane Susan |
