Chapter 5 Setting Up Group Accounts 91
When you create a user account and assign the new user a primary group, the user is
automatically added to the group you specify; you don’t need to explicitly do so.
Otherwise, you explicitly add users to a group.
You can use Workgroup Manager to add users to a group if the user and group
accounts are in the LDAP directory of an Open Directory master or a NetInfo domain.
To add users to a group using Workgroup Manager:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Accounts.
2 Select the group account you want to work with.
To select an account, click the small globe above the accounts list and open the
directory domain where the account resides, click the Groups pane, and select the
group.
3 To be authenticated, click the lock.
4 Click Members.
5 Click the Add (+) button to open a drawer listing the users defined in the directory
domain you’re working with.
6 To include system users in the list, choose Workgroup Manager > Preferences, then
select “Show system users and groups.”
Make sure that the group account resides in a directory domain specified in the search
policy (search path) of computers the user will log in to.
7 Select the user, then drag it into the Members list on the Members pane.
Removing Users From a Group
You can use Workgroup Manager to remove a user from a group that is not the user’s
primary group if the user and group accounts reside in the LDAP directory of an Open
Directory master or a NetInfo domain.
To remove a user from a group using Workgroup Manager:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Accounts.
2 Select the group account you want to work with.
To select an account, click the small globe above the accounts list and open the
directory domain where the account resides, click the Groups pane, and select the
group.
3 To be authenticated, click the lock.
4 Click Members.
5 Select the user or users you want to remove from the group, then click the Remove (–)
button.
