You can use the Groups window to manage a user's membership of security groups.

To specify a user's group membership

  1. From the left-hand pane, expand Picture of the Users icon Users and choose All Users.

  2. From the right-hand pane, right-click the user and from the menu, choose Properties.

  3. Choose the Groups tab

  4. Do one of the following:

  5. To add the user to one or more groups, select the group(s) in the 'Available groups' list, and click the > button.

  6. To remove the user from one or more groups, select the group(s) in the 'Member of' list, and click the < button.

Note: To display the full list of all the security groups within and outside of your establishment, such as the root groups, tick the 'Show all groups' box.

  1. Click OK.

Notes

  • Some of the RM-supplied security groups are protected; you cannot change their properties or membership.

  • From either list you can also double-click a group to add or remove the user to or from a group.

  • You can use the same process to manage multiple users in the same folder. First, select all of the users that you want to manage. If the group is listed in grey, this means that some of the selected users are members of the group, and some are not.

  • User properties are also available by selecting the user and choosing Picture of the User Properties button in the toolbar, or by double-clicking the user in the right-hand pane.

  • To add a user to a security group, you can also use the Security Groups option of the RM Management Console.

  • You can also set this user property on a template.

  • You can also carry out this task from the RM Management Console Start page. Click the Users icon and, from the list of tasks, select 'Manage groups'.
