Naming a group of users

You can name several registered users as a registered group.

1.Open the Users & Groups control panel and choose New Group from the File menu.

An icon labeled New Group appears. The name is selected for editing.

2. Type a name for the group.

3.Drag user icons to the new group icon.

The icons are not moved inside the group icon, as they would be if it were a folder. Instead, member icons are created inside the group icon. You don’t need to drag your own icon to the group icon because you (as the owner) have access to the entire contents of your computer (unless you specify otherwise).

You don’t need to include the <Guest> icon in any group.

To allow this group access to a shared folder or disk, go to the section “Selecting a User or Group to Share a Folder or Disk.”

Seeing who’s in a group

nTo see the names of all group members, open the group icon.

You can open any member icon to see or change the settings you’ve made for that user.
