For users to be able to use GroupWise, you must give them GroupWise accounts. A GroupWise account defines the user in the GroupWise system by providing the user with a GroupWise user name and mailbox.
You can give GroupWise accounts to users during or after their creation in an LDAP directory such as NetIQ eDirectory or Microsoft Active Directory. You can also give GroupWise accounts to users who do not have LDAP accounts.
