Management of user groups applies to the local user database only. If you select an Active Directory, groups are pulled into the ReadyDATA from the Active Directory server.
To create a user group:
- Select Security.
The Security screen displays (see the figure in Step 2). - Click the Groups button.
The following figure shows some examples. If you have not yet created any groups, only the default group with the name users and group ID (GID) 100 displays.

- At the top right of the screen, click the New Group button (
).
The New Group pop-up screen displays:

- Configure the following settings:
- GID. Either leave the assignment of the group ID (GID) as Automatic, or enter a custom GID. If you leave automatic assignment, GIDs are assigned in increments of 2, starting with 102. That is, GIDs are assigned as 102, 104, 106, and so on.
- Name. Enter a name to identify the group.
- Click Create.
The group is added to the table on the Security screen.
Note: On the Security screen, groups are sorted by group name. You cannot change the sort order.
