13.2.3 Using a Template to Create GroupWise Accounts

If you frequently create new users, you might want to create Template objects with the necessary
GroupWise properties. This makes creating a new eDirectory user with GroupWise access a one-
step process. However, you cannot use a Template object to give GroupWise properties to existing
eDirectory users.
The steps to create a template with GroupWise properties include assigning the post office and
setting up directory rights. Because a user can have membership in only one post office, a different
template should be created for each existing post office. Further, for each post office, a template can
be created for different categories of users, such as secretarial, accounting, administrative, human
resources, development, sales, and manufacturing.
