To Create a New Group

Steps

1. In the Console main window, click the Users and Groups tab.

2. From the drop-down list, choose New Group and click Create.

3. Select an organizational unit for the group and click OK.

4. In the Create Group window, enter the information required to create the group entry as described in the chapter on User and Group Administration, of the Sun ONE Server Console 5.2 Server Management Guide.

   Note that For mailing-list purposes only, you do not have to add members using the Users and Groups Members tab; you can instead add them using the Mail account Email-Only Members tab:

   • Regular group members have full mailing-list privileges, but they also have any other privileges that their group membership indicates. You add regular members (either static or dynamic) through the Members tab.

   • Mailing-list members have group privileges limited to those provided by the mailing-list component of the group (which may or may not be the only purpose for the group’s existence). Mailing-list members are called email-only members, and you add them through the Mail tab.

5. Leave the Create Group window open and click the Account tab.

   A list of installed products for the group account appears in the right pane.

6. Click the Mail Account box.

   The Mail tab becomes visible in the Create Group window.

7. Click the Mail tab in the Create Group window, then click the appropriate tab in the right pane.

8. Enter your changes, then click OK at the bottom of the Create Group window.

   This action submits your entries and dismisses the Create Group window.

   Note –

   Clicking OK at the bottom of any mail administration window submits all of the current mail configuration information entered in all of the mail administration tabs. Make sure you complete all setup procedures in the relevant windows before clicking OK.
