59.1 Creating a New Group

To create a new group in GroupWise:

  1. In the GroupWise Administration Console, click Groups > New.

  2. Specify a unique name for the group. Do not use any of the characters listed in Invalid Characters in GroupWise Object Names and Email Addresses in the GroupWise Installation Guide.

    IMPORTANT:Characters that are valid and even desirable in a group name, such as accented characters, might not be valid in an email address. For some groups you might need to set up a preferred email ID in order to ensure that they have a valid email address. For instructions, see Changing a Group’s Internet Addressing Settings.

  3. Select the post office the group will be assigned to.

    The group can contain members of other post offices.

  4. Click OK to create the group and add it to the list of groups.

  5. Continue with Adding Members to a Group.
