Mac OS X user, this button is dimmed.

The user no longer appears in the list on the Users page.

Working with Groups

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 are using local authentication mode, you can add a group, modify the group membership, or remove
groups at any time. If you are using Active Directory authentication mode, you can view group membership
but 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 that group, although you can create an empty group and add users later. (You must add users
as described in "Adding Users" on page 31 before you can 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.
