56.8 Enabling Users to Modify a Group

In the GroupWise Admin console, you can grant rights to users to modify GroupWise system-level groups in the GroupWise client. However, users cannot create or delete GroupWise system-level groups in the client. That task can be done only in the GroupWise Admin console by an administrator.

56.8.1 Selecting the Users Who Can Modify a Group

To select users who can modify a GroupWise system-level group:

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

  2. Click the Access Control tab, then locate the People Who Can Modify This Group section.

  3. Click Add, then select one or more users who can edit the group.

  4. Click OK to grant the edit rights.

  5. Notify the users that they have rights to modify the group.

56.8.2 Granting Group Modification Rights to a User

To give a specific user rights to edit one or more GroupWise system-level groups:

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

  2. Click the Objects tab, then click Group Administration.

  3. Click Add, then select one or more system-level groups for the user to edit.

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

  5. Notify the user that he or she has rights to modify the system-level groups.

    In the GroupWise client, the editable group does not appear any different to the user who has rights to edit it, except that Add and Remove are active for that user.

In Online mode, the user can edit the group in the GroupWise Address Book. In Caching mode, the user cannot edit the group in the GroupWise Address Book. However, the user can edit the group in the Address Selector in a new message.
