commadmin group create

The commadmin group create command adds a single group to the Access Manager. To create multiple groups, use the -i option.

If a group is created without any members, by default, it is a static group.

Note –

Groups cannot contain both static and dynamic members.

An email distribution list is one type of group. When a message is sent to the group address, Access Manager sends the message to all members in the group.
