Providing Easy Access to Group Folders
After you have set up a group volume, you can make it easy for users to locate the
group folder by placing an alias in the user’s Dock. The group folder contains the
group’s Library folder, Documents folder, and Public folder (including a drop box). If you
need help setting up a group share point, see “Creating a Group Folder” on page 101.
If the group folder is not available when the user clicks the group folder icon, the user
must enter a user name and password to connect to the server and open the directory.
Note: This preference setting applies only to groups. You can’t manage this setting for
users or computers.
To add a Dock item for a group folder:
1 If you haven’t set up a group share point, do so before proceeding.
2 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
3 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.
4 Click the Groups button and select one or more group accounts from the list.
