Managing groups using the web interface

To create or remove groups or change group membership for users:

        Admin (Image preferences) | Users and groups (Image usersandgroups) Manage groups

This will display the panel shown in figure 4.5.

Image userandgroups2
Figure 4.5: Managing users.

The same user can be a member of several groups.

Note that membership of the admin group is used for allowing users access to the admin part of the web interface. Users who should have access to the administrative part of the server should be part of the "admin" group which is the only special group (this group is already created for you).

Note that you will always be able to log in as root with administrative access.

The functionality depends on the user authentication and management system: if the built-in system is used, all the functionality described below is relevant; if an external system is used for managing users and groups, the menus below will be disabled.
