56.2 Adding Members to a Group

Groups can contain users, resources, and other groups.

NOTE:If the group is being synchronized from an LDAP group, you cannot modify group membership in the GroupWise Admin console. Instead, you must use the same LDAP directory management tool to modify group membership that you used to create the LDAP group. Changes to membership in the LDAP group automatically synchronize to the GroupWise group.

  1. In the GroupWise Admin console, browse to and click the name of the group.

  2. Click Add to add members to the group:

    1. Select Users to list and select users, then click OK.

    2. Select Resources to list and select resources, then click OK.

    3. Select Groups to list and select groups, then click OK.

      You cannot select more than one type of object at a time.

      By default, all users are given To participation.

  3. To change the participation of members to CC or BC, select the members, click Participation, then select CC or BC.

  4. Click Save, then click Close to return to the main Admin console window.

  5. Continue with Configuring a New Group.

Groups are typically managed by an administrator in the GroupWise Admin console. In addition, users can be granted rights to modify groups. For instructions, see Section 56.8, Enabling Users to Modify a Group.

As an alternative, GroupWise client users can create shared address books and then create groups within those shared address books, so that the groups are available to all users with whom the address book has been shared. The creator of the shared address book can give other users read-only rights, or can choose to grant them additional rights for adding, editing, and deleting information. For more information about shared address books, see Sharing an Address Book with Another User in the GroupWise 2014 R2 Client User Guide.
