Add or remove group members

Use the Server app to create groups composed of users with accounts on your server’s network account server (also known as a directory server), your server’s local directory, or your organization’s directory.

If your server is connected to a network account server, your group members can include users and groups from the network account server. External members don’t have user accounts on your server and can’t access your server’s services except for Wiki service. They can access the group’s shared folder and the wikis the group has permission to view.

Double-click a group name, or click the Action pop-up menu , then choose Edit Group.
To add a group member to several groups simultaneously, hold down the Command key while selecting groups, then click the Action pop-up menu , then choose Edit Group.

The name autocompletes as you type. If it doesn’t, make sure you spelled the name correctly. The Server app looks up local and network account names—including those in the external network account server, if your server is connected to one.
