To configure a new group:
In the GroupWise Administration Console, browse to and click the name of a new group.
Click the General tab.
(Optional) Modify any of the following fields on the General tab:
Description: Specify a description to help you identify the purpose or members of the group.
Visibility: Select the level at which the group will be visible in the GroupWise Address Book. For more information, see Controlling Object Visibility.
Replication Override: By default, groups are replicated throughout your GroupWise system based on the selected visibility level. With the default visibility level, groups are visible in the GroupWise Address Book for local post office users only and are not replicated to other post offices.
If you set Visibility to Domain, the group is replicated to all post offices in the domain, but not to post offices belonging to other domains. If you set Visibility to System, the group is replicated to all post offices in your GroupWise system. This default behavior corresponds to the Replicate According to Visibility setting.
Select Replicate Everywhere Regardless of Visibility if you want the group replicated throughout your GroupWise system regardless of the selected visibility level. With this setting, the group is made available in all post offices, although it is still only visible in the GroupWise Address Book according to the selected visibility level. The availability of the group in all post offices means that it can be nested into other groups that are visible in any post office, and that users in any post office can manually specify the group name in the To field of an item.
Email Address: Displays the email address for the group.
(Optional) Click the Nicknames tab to define one or more nicknames for the group.
For more information, see Nicknames.
(Optional) Click the Internet Addressing tab to customize the group’s email address information.
For more information, see Overriding Internet Addressing.
(Optional) Click the Access Control tab to grant to users the right to modify the group in the GroupWise client or to send to a restricted group.
For more information, see Controlling Access to a Group and Enabling Users to Modify a Group.
Click Save, and then click Close to return to the main Administration Console window.
