Managing user groups
You can specify exceptions to user group properties by changing the properties for a single user account after you add that user
account to the user group. If you change and reapply the user group properties, the updated group properties override any
previous exceptions in the properties of user accounts.
If you move a user account out of a user group, the user account remains in the global users list, but it does not appear in the
user group lists.
Change the properties of a user group
After you create a user group, specify the properties that you want to apply to all user accounts in the group. When you add user
accounts to a group, you assign the group properties to the user accounts automatically. You can copy properties from one group
to another. When you apply configuration properties to a group, or perform administrative tasks on a group, these settings apply
to all user accounts in the group.
