Managing Group Preferences
Group preferences are shared among all users in the group. Setting some preferences only
for groups instead of for each individual user can save space, especially when you have large
numbers of managed users.
Because users can select a workgroup at login, they have the opportunity to 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
individually for each member of the group.
To manage group preferences:
1
Open Workgroup Manager.
2
Use the At pop-up menu to find the directory domain that contains the group account you
want, then click Preferences.
3
Click the lock and enter your user name and password.
