Managing SMB File Sharing and Windows Interoperability in Oracle^® Solaris 11.3

How to Create an SMB Group

Before You Begin

You must create an Oracle Solaris group before you can create an SMB group. For more information, see How to Add a Group in Managing User Accounts and User Environments in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

1. Become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

2. Choose the name of the group to create.

   You might choose a name that reflects a common set of tasks that the group can perform or the organization to which the group members belong.

3. Create the SMB group.

   # smbadm create-group [-d description] group-name

   The –d option is used to specify a textual description of the SMB group.

   For example, to create a group called wsales, type:

   # smbadm create-group -d "Sales Force for the Western Region" wsales
