59.7 Controlling Access to a Group

By default, all GroupWise users can send to all GroupWise system-level groups that appear in the GroupWise Address Book. If necessary, you can restrict which users are allowed to send to a specific group. The restricted group still appears in the GroupWise Address Book, but if unauthorized users try to send to the restricted group, they receive an error indicating that they do not have the rights to use the restricted group.

To restrict access to a group:

  1. In the GroupWise Administration Console, browse to and click the name of the group.

  2. Click the Access Control tab.

  3. Click Add, select one or more users who are allowed to send to the restricted group, and then click OK to add the users to the Access Control list.

  4. (Optional) Click Add, select Resources, select one or more resources that are allowed to send to the restricted group, and then click OK to add the resources to the Access Control list.

  5. (Optional) Click Add, select Groups, select one or more groups that are allowed to send to the restricted group, and then click OK to add the groups to the Access Control list.

    IMPORTANT:After you add users, resources, and groups to the Access Control list, only those users, resources, and groups can send to the restricted group.

  6. Click Save, and then click Close to return to the main Administration Console window.

  7. Notify the users that they have rights to send to the restricted group.

In addition to the users that you add to the Access Control list, users to whom you have granted edit rights can also send to the restricted group, even if you do not explicitly add them to the Access Control list. For more information, see Enabling Users to Modify a Group.
