Create New Address Books

You can create new address books and configure address book settings for asset groups using the Address Book Properties dialog.

To create a new address book

1. Right-click the Remote Control Permissions node under the Group Details subnode of the appropriate group in the DSM Explorer.

   The Remote Control context menu appears.

2. Click Properties.

   The Address Book Properties dialog appears.

3. To create a root group in the global address book (GAB), select the Global Address Book Root Group option. (The default setting is False.)

   The GAB is a list of computers distributed to Remote Control viewers. All child asset groups below the root group are included in the GAB.

   The group and its members are added to the global address book.

4. (Optional) Select the Inherit Remote Control Permissions from Parent Group option if you want only the remote control access permissions inherited from the parent asset group. Inherited permissions are visible in the asset group's list view.

   If not selected, the inheritance option for remote control permissions is disabled.

   Default: True

5. (Optional) Select the Override Remote Control Permissions on Derived Groups option if you want the permissions of the current asset group to override the permissions of derived, or child, asset groups in the Groups hierarchy of the manager.

   Default: False

6. Click OK.

   The new address book is created.
