Group Registry entry

Create a group and add a user to one or more groups.

Usage

This Registry entry is assigned to users:

Key Setting
Key 1 User
Key 2 user
Key 3 Group
Value group;group...

where:

user

is the username of a current or new user. If a new user, this Group Registry entry adds the user to the system.

A username should be lower case and should not contain any spaces.

Note: In order to access EMu, a user must have a Group Registry entry AND a Unix or Windows user account with the same username and password.

group;group...

is one or more group names separated by a semicolon. A group name may contain spaces.

Tip: See How to work with multiple groups in EMu for details about multiple groups.

Note: There should only ever be one Group Registry entry for a user. If a user belongs to more than one group, be sure to list all group names in the one Group Registry entry. Do not add a separate Group Registry entry for each group to which a user belongs.

Example

This entry will create a new group called Staff with a member called gerard:

Key Setting
Key 1 User
Key 2 gerard
Key 3 Group
Value Staff

Note: Although the new group has been created, it currently has no access privileges and user gerard will have little if any access to EMu.
It would now be necessary to define the access permissions for this new group. See Access permissions for users / groups.

This entry creates two new groups, each with a member called gerard:

Key Setting
Key 1 User
Key 2 gerard
Key 3 Group
Value Staff;Documentation
