Granting Rights to Add and Delete Group Entries
Some organizations want to allow employees to create entries in the tree if it can
increase their efficiency or if it can contribute to the corporate dynamics.
At
example.com
for example, there is an active social committee that is organized
into various clubs: tennis, swimming, skiing, role-playing, etc. Any
example.com
employee can create a group entry representing a new club. This is illustrated in
the ACI “Create Group” example. Any
example.com
employee can become a
member of one of these groups. This is illustrated in ACI “Group Members”
under “Allowing Users to Add or Remove Themselves from a Group,” on
page 260. Only the group owner can modify or delete a group entry. This is
illustrated in the ACI “Delete Group” example.
