To see a list of existing groups, select Groups in the right hand pane and then click Action->Open. The Action menu provides new options described below.
- | To add a new group, click Action->Add Group. |
- | To view or change properties of an existing group, double-click the group name. |
- | To copy users to a group, first go to the User Accounts tool, select users and copy them (with the Action menu). Return to the Groups tool, select the group and click Action->Paste User(s) into Group. |
- |
To delete a group, click Edit->Delete, and then click the Delete button on
the Warning: Delete Group? dialog box.
Deleting a group removes its entry from the directory service's (naming service's) groups database or from the local /etc/groups file if no directory/naming service
is being used. Also, the group "staff" replaces the deleted group
for users whose primary group is the deleted group.

NOTE: The names and IDs of deleted groups should not be reused, because they are needed for interpretation of the audit trail and for protection of files that may be restored from archives. For more about groups, see About Groups and see the Solaris System Administration Guide and the Trusted Solaris Administration Overview.
