Setting Up an eDirectory Group for Use in GroupWise

By default, eDirectory groups are not automatically available for use as distribution lists in GroupWise. To make an eDirectory group available, you need to assign it to a GroupWise post office.

  1. In ConsoleOne®, right-click the Group object, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Account to display the Account page.

  3. Fill in the following fields:

    Post Office: Select the post office where you want to assign the group. You can choose any post office you want. If you plan to limit visibility of the group to users on a specific post office or in a specific domain, you should select that post office or a post office in the desired domain.

    Visibility: Select the level at which the group will be visible in the Address Book. System enables the group to be visible to all users in your GroupWise system. Domain enables the group to be visible to all users in the same domain as the group. Post Office enables the group to be visible to all users on the same post office as the group. Setting the visibility to None means that the group will not be visible at any level. However, even if the group is not displayed in a user's Address Book, he or she can use the group by typing the group's name in a message's To field.

  4. Click OK to save the changes.

The group is now treated like a GroupWise distribution list and is visible in the GroupWise View when you filter on distribution lists.

When GroupWise users send messages to the group, only those group members who have GroupWise accounts will receive messages.
