Adding Groups

You create new group IDs to associate Windows file permissions with a group rather than just a single user.

To add groups on the CA Automation Point workstation

  1. Open a Windows command prompt and execute the following command:
    mmc.exe %windir%\system32\lusrmgr.msc
    
  2. In the Local Users and Groups window, open the Groups folder.
  3. On the menu bar, click Action.
  4. From the drop-down menu, choose New Group. The New Group dialog displays.

    Note: To add one or more users to a group, click Add in the New Group dialog.

  5. In the New Group dialog, specify the appropriate information in the following fields:
    Group Name

    Specifies the name for the new group.

    Description

    Describes the new group.

  6. To create an additional group, click Create and then repeat steps 2 through 4. If you are not creating any additional groups, skip this step and go to step 7.
  7. To finish, click Create and then Close. The new group(s) that you created will appear in the Groups folder in the console tree.
