Configure the Global Address Book

You can create and configure a global address book (GAB) using the Address Book Properties dialog.

To create a new global address book group

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

   A context menu appears:

   

2. Click Properties.

   The Address Book Properties dialog appears:

   

3. Select the Global Address Book Root Group option.

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

4. (Optional) Select the Inherit Remote Control Permissions from Parent Group option.
5. (Optional) Select the Override Remote Control Permissions on Derived Groups option.
6. Click OK.

   The new global address book group is created.

   Any subsequent changes to the asset group—adding a computer or removing one—are reflected in the global address book.

   All of the user permissions defined in the global address book root are displayed in the Root Address Book Permissions pane. Each asset group that is part of the global address book inherits these permissions by default.
