Creating and Configuring New Policy Groups

John decides to create two policy groups called "Novice" and "Expert". He then configures the settings for each policy group and assigns each group to the appropriate subdivisions. This way, if he later makes a change in one policy group, the change is automatically applied to all of the subdivisions that the policy groups are assigned to. John can also remove the policy groups from the subdivisions.

The three features that John needs to disable for novice users are the Configure and the Options submenu of the Tools menu as well as the ability to execute macros in StarOffice.

See the appendix of the StarOffice 7 Administration Guide for a complete list of the available commands.
