Fill in the following fields:

Post Office: 

Select the post office where you want to assign the group. You can choose any 

post office you want. If you plan to limit visibility of the group to users on a specific post office 
or in a specific domain, you should select that post office or a post office in the desired domain.

Visibility: 

Select the level at which the group is visible in the Address Book. 

System

 enables 

the group to be visible to all users in your GroupWise system. 

Domain

 enables the group to be 

visible to all users in the same domain as the group. 

Post Office

 enables the group to be visible 

to all users on the same post office as the group. Setting the visibility to 

None

 means that the 

group is not visible at any level. However, even if the group is not displayed in a user’s Address 
Book, he or she can use the group by typing the group’s name in a message’s To field.

Click 

OK

 to save the changes.

The group is now treated like a GroupWise distribution list and is visible in the GroupWise View 
when you filter on distribution lists. However, its icon does not change.

When GroupWise users send messages to the group, only those group members who have 
GroupWise accounts receive messages. 

For information about using dynamic groups with GroupWise, see TID 3074853 in the 

Novell 

Support Knowledgebase (http://www.novell.com/support)

.

19.2  Seeing Which Members of an eDirectory 

Group Have GroupWise Accounts

eDirectory groups can include members who have GroupWise accounts and members who do not 
have GroupWise accounts. When the group is used to address a message, only those members who 
have GroupWise accounts receive the message.

To see which members have GroupWise accounts and which ones do not:

1

In ConsoleOne, select the Group object, then click 

Tools

 > 

GroupWise Diagnostics

 >
