Managing Group Preferences
Group preferences are shared among all users in the group. Setting some preferences only for groups instead of for each user can save time, especially when you have large numbers of managed users.
Because users can select a workgroup at login, they can choose a group with managed settings appropriate to the current task, location, or environment. It can be more efficient to set preferences once for a single group instead of setting preferences for each member of the group.
To manage group preferences:
1In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
