Working with groups
Windows and Mac OS X users can be pu t into groups, which makes it easier to give
several
users access to the same shared folder a t once.
When you click Users in the navigation bar and click Groups in the lef t pane, the
page
displays a list of all currently configured groups. When you select a group in
the
Groups list, the members of that group appear in t he adjacen t Members lis t.
If you’re using local authentication mode, you can add a group, modify the group
membership,
or remove groups at any time. If you’re using Active Directory
authentication
mode, you can view the group membership bu t not add, modify , or
remove
groups. Those actions can be done only on the Active Directory server .
Adding a group
In local authentication mode, when you create a group, you typically specify which
users
should be members of tha t group , although you can create an empty group and
add users later. (You must add users as described in “Adding
users” before you can
add those users to a group.)
Each user can be a member of multiple groups. For example, t he user Alice might be
a member of both the Marke t ing and Executives groups.
You can create up to 128 groups .
To add a group :
1 . In the naviga t ion bar , click Users .
2 . In the le ft pane , click Groups .
