102 Chapter 7 Managing Groups

Changing a Group’s Name

You can use Server Preferences to change the name of a group.

To change a group’s name:

1 In the Groups pane of Server Preferences, select the group you want to change in the

list on the left, and then click Group Settings.

2 Edit the Group Name field.

The name can be as long as 255 characters (from 255 Roman characters to as few as 85

Japanese characters). It can include spaces.

You can’t change a group’s short name using Server Preferences.

Setting Up a Group File Sharing Folder

You can use Server Preferences to set up a shared folder for a group. Group members

can get files from the shared group folder and put files in it. It’s named using the

group’s short name and is located on the server’s startup disk at /Groups/.

To set up a file sharing folder for a group:

1 In the Groups pane of Server Preferences, select a group in the list on the left or create

a new group, and then click Group Settings.

For information, see “Creating a New Group” on page 94.

2 Select “File sharing folder.”
