Managing Local Groups

If your site is configured with external NIS database, you can skip this section.
You must define only local groups in case you have very few Linux/UNIX end users who require access to the NAS
cluster solution using NFS, and only if there is no external NIS database.
The NAS cluster solution groups assist in the organization and management of users. When defining users, you can
assign local storage users to one or more groups. The NAS cluster solution may also include groups or users defined
externally, such as groups defined in a UNIX system.
