2-6 CHAPTER 2: WORKING WITH SECURITY
Setting Up Groups After manually creating users, creating groups provides structure to the security
configuration. For example, a separate group may be created for each department
so that the use of attachments, phonebooks or port devices is restricted. Setting
up groups prepares a default setting for each new user in that group. Excepti ons
only need individual configuration.
Using groups means that, instead of setting permissions for each user, you can
assign group permissions to individual users. By default, users inherit the
permissions of all the user groups to which they belong.
By grouping objects, the same permissions for the group of objects can be
assigned to users or user groups.
The following procedures will be described below:
■Creating a User-Defi ned Group
■Managing Groups
■Adding and Deleting Members
■Deleting a User-Defined Group
