9.5. Granting Rights to Add and Delete Group Entries

Some organizations want to allow employees to create entries in the tree if it can increase their efficiency or if it can contribute to the corporate dynamics.

At example.com, there is an active social committee that is organized into various clubs, such as tennis, swimming, and skiing. Any example.com employee can create a group entry representing a new club. This is illustrated in Section 9.5.1, “ACI "Create Group"”. Any example.com employee can become a member of one of these groups. This is illustrated in Section 9.9.1, “ACI "Group Members"” under Section 9.9, “Allowing Users to Add or Remove Themselves from a Group”. Only the group owner can modify or delete a group entry. This is illustrated in Section 9.5.2, “ACI "Delete Group"”.

9.5.1. ACI "Create Group"
