Tasks Available on This Screen

On this screen users can do one thing: add a new group.

To add a new group:

  1. Fill in the following fields:
    • Name: The name of the group
    • Description: (optional) A description of the group
    • Location: (optional) The physical location of the group's hardware
    • Contains Resources: If, on the preceding screen, the user selected a specific resource(s), that selection determines this field's value. Otherwise, first select whether the group will contain only a single resource type, for example, Exchange 2003, ("Compatible/Cluster") or multiple resource types, for example, some Windows boxes and some Apache servers, ("Mixed"). (Mixed groups enable role-based access control to certain resources.) Then select either a specific resource type or an inventory level, respectively. (The specific resources get added later.)
  2. Click .

The group's Owner defaults to the account that created the group.
