Customizing the Workgroups Displayed at Login
You can change settings that affect how workgroup preferences and other settings
impact a user’s experience. For example, you can require local users to choose a
workgroup.
This makes the user’s environment the same as if he or she was a member of the
workgroup. Or, you can configure how to handle situations where multiple workgroups
are available for a user.
