To add a new group, click on the Add Group tab if it is not already selected. You can add up to five
groups at a time. If you expect to have just one big set of users for one group, you can forego
adding a new group and accept the default users group.

If desired, a user can belong to multiple groups. Once you have created user accounts, you can
specify secondary groups that the user can belong to. This allows for finer-grain settings for share
access. For instance, you can have user joe in group marketing also belong to group sales so joe
can access shares restricted to only marketing and sales groups.

While adding a new group, you can specify the amount of disk space you wish to allocate that group
by setting a disk quota. A value of 0 denotes no limit. You can set or change the quota at a later
time. You can also set the Group ID, or GID, of the group that you are adding. You can leave this
field blank and let the system automatically assign this value unless you wish to match your GID to
your NFS clients.
