The selected users move from one list to the other.
On the Groups page, when you select this group in the Groups list, the adjacent
Members list immediately reflects the changes you just made.
Removing a Group
In local authentication mode, removing a group does not remove the users that are
members of that group; it simply means that the group no longer displays in the Groups
list on the Groups page. The users remain listed on the Users & Computers page. In
Active Directory authentication mode, you cannot remove a group on the storage system.
That can be done only on the Active Directory server.
However, removing a group can affect access to shared folders. When you remove a
group, the members of that group no longer has access to any shared folders that the group
was authorized to access unless they were granted individual access as well.
For example, the Executives group might include Alice, Bob, and Carlos, and that group
might have read/write access to the Budget shared folder. If you remove the Executives
group, Alice, Bob, and Carlos remain users, but they no longer have access to that shared
folder.
On the other hand, if the Executives group had read/write access to the Budget shared
folder, but Alice had read-only access, when you remove the group, Bob and Carlos no
longer have access to the Budget shared folder since their access rights were determined
by their group membership, but Alice continues to have read-only access, since that
access right was granted to her on a user level.
