Chapter 5: Creating Rule Elements
Creating users and user groups
• Filter users and/or groups—You can filter the users and/or groups that are
displayed in the window by typing alphabetic characters for which you want
to filter in the Match field. For example, if you type br in the Match field, only
users and groups whose name begins with “br” will appear in the list. The
Match field is case sensitive.
• Add or modify a user or user group—To add a new user or user group, see
“Configuring users or user groups” on page 133. To modify an existing user
or user group, highlight the entry you want to modify and click Modify.
Tip: You may find it more convenient to create user groups before creating
individual user accounts. That way, as you set up your user accounts, you will
be able to assign them to a group at the same time.
• Modify the members of a user group—To modify the members in a user
group, highlight the user group and click Members. See “Managing user
group membership” on page 138 for details.
• Delete a user or user group—To delete a user or user group, highlight the
entry you want to delete and click Delete. You will be prompted to confirm
this action.
