From the Modify Client Authentication Groups menu, you can:

•Add a new client authentication group (see Section : Adding Client Authentication Groups)

•Modify an existing client authentication group (see Section : Modifying Client Authentication Groups)

•Delete a client authentication group (see Section : Deleting Client Authentication Groups)
