Naming a Group
A group has two names: a full name and a short name:
m The full group name, which is used for display purposes only, can contain as many as 255
characters (127 double-byte characters). Use only these characters:
a through z
A through Z
0 through 9
_ (underscore)
- (hyphen)
. (period)
(space)
For example, English Department Students.
m The short name can contain as many as 255 characters (127 double-byte characters). Use
only these characters:
a through z
A through Z
0 through 9
_ (underscore)
- (hyphen)
. (period)
The short name, typically 8 or fewer characters, is used by Mac OS X to find UIDs of group
members when determining whether a user can access a file as a result of his or her
group membership.
You can use Workgroup Manager to edit the names of a group account stored in a NetInfo or
LDAPv3 directory domain or to review the names in any directory domain accessible from
the server you are using.
To work with group names using Workgroup Manager:
1 In Workgroup Manager, open the group account you want to work with if it is not already
open.
To open an account, click the Account button, then use the At pop-up menu to open the
directory domain where the account resides. To change a name, click the lock to be
authenticated. Select the group in the group list.
