Groups are used to organize users and ease their account management. Create your groups before you create your users. Users
cannot be defined outside of a group.
Group definitions include parameters that can be shared by all member users. Furthermore, HAM provides Default group properties
that can be shared by all groups (and hence all users). The following summarizes the configuration hierarchy of groups and
users:
|
• |
Default group properties (highest level for all groups)
|
♦ |
Group properties (for every group)
|
§
|
User properties (lowest level, for individual users) |
|
|
The lower levels can use the parameters of the levels above it. Using this feature, you can define a specific language configuration,
for example, for the Default group properties and then use that as a default configuration for every new group you create.
This avoids having to define the language configuration for every new group or user configuration.
