Manage User Groups

A group is a directory object, which consists of users and/or computer. The group receives for its members the default rights for users and computers. These rights can be changed. The members of a group can inherit the different permissions of the group. Individual permissions of users and computers have priority over the group rights.

Select Group members from the context menu.
The Group members dialog appears. The group members are shown in the right part of the dialog.
