Managing Group Preferences
Group preferences are shared among all users in the group. Setting some preferences
only for groups instead of for each user can save time, especially when you have large
numbers of managed users.
Because users can select a workgroup at login, they can choose a group with managed
settings appropriate to the current task, location, or environment. It can be more
efficient to set preferences once for a single group instead of setting preferences for
each member of the group.
To manage group preferences:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2 Make sure the correct directory is selected and you are authenticated.
To switch directories, click the globe icon. If you are not authenticated, click the lock
and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
3 Click the Groups button and select one or more group accounts from the list.
