Chapter 5 Setting Up Group Accounts 95
6 In the Owner Name field, enter the name of the user you want to own the group folder
so the user can act as group folder administrator.
Click the Browse (...) button to choose an owner from a list of users in the current
directory domain.
The group folder owner will be given read/write access to the group folder.
7 Click Save.
8 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.
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 that 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 in the Finder’s Go menu to navigate to the server where the group
folder resides to access the group folder.
Creating a Group Folder in a New Share Point
You can use Workgroup Manager to create a group folder in a new share point.
To create a group folder in a new share point:
1 On the server where you want the group folder to reside, create a folder that will serve
as the share point for the group folder.
2 In Workgroup Manager, connect with the server in step 1 and click Sharing.
3 Click All (above the list on the left) and select the folder you created for the share point.
4 In the General pane, select “Share this item and its contents.”
5 Set Group permissions to Read & Write, set Everyone permissions to Read Only, and
change the name in the Group field to “admin.”
Ignore the Owner permissions for now.
6 Click Save.
