Working with groups

Adding a group

Windows and Mac OS X users can be put into groups, which makes it easier to give
several users access to the same shared folder at once.
When you click Users in the navigation bar and click Groups in the left 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 the adjacent Members list.
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 but not add, modify, or
remove groups. Those actions can be done only on the Active Directory server.
In local authentication mode, when you create a group, you typically specify which
users should be members of that group, although you can create an empty group and
add users later. (You must add users as described in
add those users to a group.)
Each user can be a member of multiple groups. For example, the user Alice might be
a member of both the Marketing and Executives groups.
You can create up to 128 groups.
To add a group:
1. In the navigation bar, click Users.
2. In the left pane, click Groups.
