7.2 Assigning Macintosh Manager Users to workgroups

Macintosh Manager controls log-ins from Mac OS 9 clients. It also allows administrators to assign system rights to MM users & MM workgroups.

Macintosh Manager groups are called "WorkGroups" and should not be confused with the UNIX groups within Mac OS X server.

MM users can be members of one or more workgroup, and each workgroup can be assign different system rights.

Before a MM user can log in, he must be assigned to at least one workgroup.

This can done on an individual basis, or by importing the user & group information from a text file. This is explored in the section "7.3 Shell Script - Copying Mac OS X groups into Macintosh Manager"

Launch "Macintosh Manager.app".  
Enter the administrators name and password into the authentication box.  

Click on "Workgroups" tab, and then on the "Members" tab.

Select the users from the list of "Available Users".

Click on the "Add >" button.

 
The selected users will be copied into the Workgroup.
