Creating a Group
Grouping users and roles makes it easier to assign access-control permissions. It is also easier to manage roles and users when they are groups. When you assign permissions only to groups, you do not have to modify the Access Control List when there is a change within the group.

To create a group

  1. Open the Security tool of the Netscape Application Server Administrator.
  2. Go to the Users and Groups tab.
  3. Click New Group.
  4. The New Group dialog box appears.

  5. Under Group Name, enter the name for the group.
  6. (Optional) Under Description, enter a description for the group.
  7. To add the user to a group, select the group or groups the user is to be a member of and add your selection to the Member of box.
