You can use Workgroup Manager to edit the ID for a group account stored in an Open Directory domain or the local domain, or to review the group ID in any directory domain accessible from the server you’re using. The group ID is associated with group privileges and permissions.
To work with a group ID using Workgroup Manager:
1In Workgroup Manager, click Accounts.
2Select the group account you want to work with.
To select an account, click the globe icon, choose the directory domain where the account resides, click the Groups button, and then select the group.
3To authenticate, click the lock and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
4Click Basic, then in the Group ID field review or edit the ID and click Save.
Before saving a group ID, Workgroup Manager checks to ensure that it is unique in the directory domain you’re using.
Choosing a Group’s Login Picture
You can quickly change a group’s login picture in Workgroup Manager. This picture represents the group in the workgroup chooser of the login window.
Although you can use an image file of any size, you should use an image that is 64 x 64 pixels in size. If you use a larger image, it is centered and resized to 64 x 64.
Group pictures are stored as a path to an image file, not as the file itself. This path must be accessible by the computers used by the group. For example, if you enter a path to an image file on the desktop, the image file must be located on the desktop of all computers used by the group. To avoid copying image files to all computers, store image files on a server.
To choose a group’s login picture:
1In Workgroup Manager, click Accounts.
2Select the group account you want to work with.
To select an account, click the globe icon, choose the directory domain where the account resides, click the Groups button, and select the group.
3To authenticate, click the lock and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
4In the Basic pane, drag a picture to the picture area in the top right.
When you drag a picture to the picture area, the Picture Path field is updated with the new location of the picture. You can also change the picture by editing this path.
5Click Save.
