Group

You can create Group objects in NWAdmin to help you manage sets of User objects.

What a Group Object Represents

A Group object represents a set of User objects.

Usage

While container objects let you manage all User objects in that container, Group objects are for subsets within a container or in multiple containers.

Group objects have two main purposes:

• They allow you to grant rights to a number of User objects at once.
• They allow you to specify login script commands using 'IF MEMBER OF...' syntax.

Important Properties

The most important properties of the Group object are Members and Rights to Files and Directories. For a complete list of properties, select a Group object in NWAdmin, then choose Object > Details. To display a description for each page of properties, click Help.

Members

This property lists all User objects in the group. Rights assignments made to the Group object apply to all members of that group.

Rights to Files and Directories

This property lists all trustee assignments made for this Group to the NetWare file system.
