5. Select the letter corresponding to “Local Groups”.
6. This takes you to a menu where you will see a list of all currently configured
groups. By default, in Domain mode, the “Administrators”, “Power Users” and
“Backup Operators” local groups exist.
To add a group, press “8”, Add a Group, from this screen. To edit group settings, or
to delete a group, press the letter to the left of the group name. Please note that the
“Administrators” group is always understood to contain the Domain Admins group
of the configured Windows domain, though it is not listed. This behavior is expected
by Windows Domains.
Inside the edit menu, there are five options listed at the bottom of the screen, as
follows:
■ “1”, “Fields”: Selecting this option allows you to edit the name of user-defined
groups, or the comment field for any group. The names of default groups cannot
be changed.
■ “2”, “Members”: Selecting this option allows you to add members to the group.
Inside the submenu, select option "8”, “Add” to bring up a text box. For a user in
the configured domain, simply enter the username. For a user in a trusted
domain, enter the name in the format <domainname\username>. In order to
successfully add the account, the account must already exist, and any required
Windows Domain trust relationship must already be in place.
■ “3”, “Privileges”: Selecting this option allows you to configure privileges for the
selected group. In this submenu, there is a list of security privileges, as follows:
Take ownership of files or other objects, Back up files and directories, Restore files
and directories. These correspond to standard Windows privileges. Press the letter
corresponding to the privilege to enable or disable it.
■ “8”, “Delete Group”: This deletes the local group. This option is only valid for
user-defined groups.
■ “0”, “Cancel”: This returns you to the list of groups.
7. After configuring desired options, select option “7”, “Save Changes”.
