Select “Set user storage quota to __ K” and type the maximum amount of storage space to

of users who will share it.

they exceed this limit.”

Updating User Information From Mac OS X Server

If you change user information in Workgroup Manager or delete user accounts, you need to
synchronize Macintosh Manager with the Mac OS X Server database to make sure user data is
the same in both places.

To update Macintosh Manager user data:

1

In Macintosh Manager, click Users.

2

Choose Verify Users & Workgroups from the File menu.

If the user account exists in the server database, Macintosh Manager updates the user’s
information to match information in the server database. For very large numbers of users,
this process can take some time.

Note: If the user account can’t be found, the user is deleted from Macintosh Manager.

Setting Up Workgroups

In the Members pane of the Workgroups pane, you can create new workgroups, change an
existing workgroup’s name or type, and add or remove workgroup members.

This section describes the different workgroup environments and tells you how to apply
workgroup settings manually, by duplicating a workgroup, and by using a template.

Important

If a user is not a workgroup member, he or she cannot log in to the Macintosh

Manager network. Group accounts are not imported from Workgroup Manager; you must
create them. Every managed user must belong to at least one workgroup. Users can belong
to more than one workgroup, but users can select only one workgroup when they log in.
