To add a user account to a group
- In the console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the user account.
- In the details pane, right-click the user account, and then click Add to a Group.
- Use the Select Objects dialog box to locate and select the group to which you want to add the user account (you can select more than one group to add the account to).
|
|
NOTE:
- You can add multiple user accounts to a group at a time: Select the accounts, right-click the selection, and click Add to a Group. To select multiple accounts, press and hold down CTRL, and then click each account.
- You can also add or remove user accounts from groups by using the Properties dialog box: Select one or more accounts, right-click the selection, click Properties, and go to the Member Of tab in the Properties dialog box.
- You can use the Find function of Active Roles in order to locate the user accounts you want to add to a certain group. Once you have found the user accounts, you can proceed as follows: Select the accounts in the list of search results, right-click the selection, and click Add to a Group.
- By adding a user to a group, you can assign permissions to all of the user accounts in that group and filter Group Policy settings on all accounts in that group.

To remove a user account from groups, right-click the user account, click Properties, and go to the Member Of tab. On the Member Of tab, select groups from the list and click Remove.
To remove a user account from a group
- In the console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the user account.
- In the details pane, right-click the user account, and then click Properties.
- On the Member Of tab in the Properties dialog box, clear the Show nested groups check box, select the group from which you want to remove the user account, and click Remove.
|
|
NOTE:
- If you have not cleared the Show nested groups check box, the list on the Member Of tab also includes the groups to which the user account belongs indirectly, that is, because of group nesting. If you select such a group from the list, the Remove button is unavailable. A user account can be removed from only those groups of which the account is a direct member.
- The user account cannot be removed from its primary group (Domain Users by default). You first need to change the user’s primary group (see Steps for changing a user’s primary group later in this document).
|
The user’s primary group applies only to users who log on to the network through Services for Macintosh, or to users who run POSIX-compliant applications. If you are not using these services, there is no need to change the primary group from Domain Users, which is the default setting.
To change a user’s primary group, right-click the account, click Properties, and go to the Member Of tab. On the Member Of tab, select a group from the list and click the Set Primary Group button.
|
|
NOTE:Only a global or universal security group can be set as the primary group. If you select a group with group scope set to Domain local, or a distribution group, the Set Primary Group button is unavailable. |
