Sorting Users and Groups

After displaying a list of accounts in Workgroup Manager, click a column heading to sort entries using the values in that column. Click the heading again to reverse the sort order.

Shortcuts for Working with Accounts

Workgroup Manager provides shortcuts for applying the same settings to new or existing accounts. You can also import user and group account information from a file.

Using Presets

You can select settings for a user account, group account, or computer group, and save them as presets. Presets work like templates, allowing you to apply predefined settings to a new account. Using presets, you can easily set up multiple accounts with similar settings.

You can only use presets during account creation. You can’t use a preset to modify an existing account. You can use presets when creating accounts manually, or when importing them from a file.

If you change a preset after it has been used to create an account, accounts already created using the preset are not updated to reflect those changes.
