292 Chapter 19: Working with Users and Groups
Viewing and changing information for existing groups
The administrator sets up groups to conform with Breeze users’ permissions needs. Often, the
membership of such groups changes, and you must change the group’s composition to reflect this.
Whereas a group’s composition automatically changes when you add or remove an individual user
at the user level, you use the group editing feature to move large numbers of users in and out of
groups, as well as to change group details.
In addition, you can change the names of Built-in groups; however, this makes support more
difficult, and Macromedia does not recommend this practice. You can also change the
descriptions and the group membership of Built-in groups, but you cannot change permissions
for these groups. For custom groups, however, you can change any attribute, or delete the group,
if necessary.
This section contains the following procedures for viewing and changing attributes for a given
group:
•
“Viewing group information” on page 292
•
“Changing a group name or description” on page 293
•
“Viewing or changing a group’s permissions” on page 293
•
“Adding members to a group” on page 294
•
“Removing members from a group” on page 294
•
“Deleting a group” on page 295
