For working with read-only user accounts, see “Working With Read-Only User Accounts” on
page 139.
For details about all the settings for a user account, see “Working With Basic Settings for
Users” on page 139 through “Working With Managed Users” on page 154.
For details about setting up managed users, see Chapter 6, “Client Management: Mac OS X,”
and Chapter 10, “Client Management: Mac OS 9 and OS 8.” When you use managed users,
creating users in a network directory domain is optional. All users can be locally defined on
client computers.
Step 7:
Create groups
You can use Workgroup Manager to create group accounts in directory domains that reside
on Mac OS X Server and in non-Apple LDAPv3 directory domains that have been configured
for write access. See these sections for instructions:
m “Creating Group Accounts in a Directory Domain on Mac OS X Server” on page 165 and
“Creating Read-Write LDAPv3 Group Accounts” on page 166
m “Shortcuts for Working With Users and Groups” on page 176
m “Importing and Exporting User and Group Information” on page 178
For working with read-only group accounts, see “Working With Read-Only Group Accounts”
on page 167.
For details about all the settings for a group account, see “Working With Member Settings for
Groups” on page 167 through “Working With Group and Computer Preferences” on
page 173.
Step 8:
Set Up Client Computers
Make sure that the directory services of Mac OS X computers are set up so they can access
user accounts at login. See “Supporting Client Computers” on page 202 for details about how
to configure Mac OS X computers as well as other client computers so that users can be
authenticated and access the services you want them to.
