98 Chapter 5 Setting Up Group Accounts
10 To create the folder, use the CreateGroupFolder command in Terminal.
You must be the root user to use the command. For more information, type “man
CreateGroupFolder” in Terminal to see the man page. The group folder is named using
the short name of the group with which it is associated.
11 Set up access to the group folder for users who log in as group members.
• You can automate a group member’s access to the group folder when the user logs
in.
• You can set up Dock Preferences to make the group folder visible in the Dock. For
instructions, see “Providing Easy Access to Group Folders” on page 149.
• You can set up login preferences so users can click Computer in the Finder to see the
group folder share point and the group folders within it. For instructions, see
“Providing Easy Access to the Group Share Point” on page 166.
When using these preferences, make sure the group is defined in a shared domain in
the search policy of the group member’s computer. See the Open Directory
administration guide for instructions on setting a computer’s search policy.
If you don’t automate group folder access, group members can use the “Connect to
Server” command on the Finder’s Go menu to navigate to the server where the group
folder resides to access the group folder.
Designating a Group Folder for Use by Multiple Groups
To permit a group folder to be accessed by multiple groups, you identify the folder for
each group separately.
To configure more than one group to use the same group folder:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Accounts.
2 Select the first group account you want to use the folder.
To select a group account, connect to the server where the account resides. Click the
small globe above the accounts list and open the directory domain where the group
account is stored, click the Groups pane, and select the group.
3 Click Group Folder, select the folder you want the group to use, and click Save.
4 Repeat for each group you want to use the same group folder.
