Creating a Group

Groups let you specify the share access privileges for a set of users. After you create a group, you can define the group’s access privileges on a per-share basis. You can add or remove users to and from the group at any time. Note that users are assigned a primary group within their user profile. When users create a file, the group ownership is automatically set to their primary group. The storage usage is charged to their primary group for the purposes of volume quota accounting. Group membership, other than the primary group, is defined in either the Add Group or Edit Group page and is used only to control access to shares and files.

NOTE: You cannot grant security privileges to a group for a CIFS share through ACL.

To create a group:

1. From the Manager Menu, click Access Groups.

The Configured Groups page appears.

2. Click Add.
