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 au-
thentication 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.
5.4.4.1. Adding a Group

group, you typically specify which users should be mem-
bers of that group, although you can create an empty
group and add users later. (You must add users as de-
scribed in section

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.

1. In the navigation bar, click Users.
2. In the left pane, click Groups.
